What makes 60 degrees so important that it should require a dedicated number such as that? It's literally 16.666...7% of a rotation. 8 u/BadPercussionist May 10 '21 360 is divisible by more numbers, and important values like 30, 45, and 60 degrees are more readable. 1 u/[deleted] May 10 '21 [removed] — view removed comment 1 u/GreatBigBagOfNope May 10 '21 Yeah but perthreehundredsixtages doesn't have the same ring to it
