Numberphile: '60'

16. It all means something.

"We are the music makers, we are the dreamers of dreams" -Willy Wonka.

In a long ago post I talked about set numbers, how any set of integers can be encoded in an integer, (sum(2^n for each n in set)). 60 is set number for {2,3,4,5} all the numbers up to six, excluding 1, 0. 10*6 = 60. So in this context I just made up, 60 is significant in that regard. But the real significant thing is that there are infinity of such systems where 60 is significant in its own way. Its all about what we put into it.
