Fun fact: base 60 was adopted by the Babylonians for two major reasons:

• It splits evenly in common fractions, such as halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths…
• The Babylonians used a finger-counting method where the left thumb scrolled across each phalanx of the finger (giving a core base 12) and each of the other left fingers was used to keep track of how many rounds of twelve had been counted (hence 12 times 5 = 60)
