    That must be China. No way that would pass any kind of ethical test elsewhere.

    Great question. There are several theories

    One is that it is mathematical a good choice as 60 has many devisors 2,3,4,5,6, etc which facilitates division. (In contrast 10 is poor in terms of divisors).

    Another theory is 2 groups merged. One group used 5 (five fingers on hand) and the other used 12 (3 knuckles each on 4 fingers pointing with thumb on same hand) and when they traded it was practical to merge them into 60. E.g
    5 (fingers on left hand) in combination with x 12 (knuckles on right hand).

    Hopefully that makes sense. Either way it looks like it revolves around the human body. I prefer this theory because I can imagine the people at the time were more focused on the practicalities of trade than mathematical aesthetics. :)

    You can divide 360 by every number between 1 and 9, except 7, and get a whole number. So before the days of calculators and iPhones, construction workers could divide angles in their heads, that's why we don't see 7 sided rooms/buildings.

    But builders did have the tools to calculate.

    The measuring string. A square building measures the same diagonally.

    Hmm, I take it you don't work in construction. Measuring diagonally is just to check something is square, not dividing angles.

    Dividing angels is easy. But one must be square first.

    As a life long acrophobe all I can say of the person that came up with this particular practical joke is “You Bastard!”:p
