It makes me want to use a 12 sided die in a game since 12 can be divided by 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. Feels like it could be useful for some interesting game mechanics.

120 is a Magical Number
I havent found a good design use for this bit of info but the number 120 is divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, 30, 40, and 60. It also adds up to 360 if multiplied by 3.

That is a good point. Probably why clocks use 12 hour intervals as well.
ReplyDeleteWhats interesting is that in contrast 100 is only divisible by 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, and 50. A paltry sum by comparison to 120.
