See also: Metric time.

10hrs in a day. 100min in a hour. 100 sec in a min.

Though I like the idea a lot, 60 has the great advantage that you can devide it by 2,3,4,5 and 6 which is a very useful property... The real power move would be to use the 60-system for everything... Like the Babylonians did, or so I heared

Nah, base 12 number system with the same logic as metric. But it's probably too late to switch to a different number system.

Nah. Can't devide by ape fingers
