    FUN FACT: In 1792 a new representation of time was introduced in France: the French Revolutionary Time. French Revolutionary Time used the decimal system to define time so that 1 day was divided in 10 hours, with 100 minutes per hour, and 100 seconds per minute.pic.twitter.com/YciSF9rhxy

        Combined with fixed 28 days x 13 months year, it would be ideal time system 😄https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/4cku47/proposed_new_standard_year/ …

        The revolutionary calendar actually grouped the days also by 10 ("décades"), 3 of which made a month, and 12 months plus a few special days made a year (starting at the autumn equinox)

        Might have to do with 60 being divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60, making it a highly composite number.
