Maybe not in imperial, but those integer results deriving from fractions using a 60-base system can come in pretty handy- we use this awkward system not only for degrees (360 in a circle, 180 in most triangles) but also time! all of you forgot about time, didn't ya? And I bet most of you dont have 60 fingers.
