How is the decimal system even a thing in Equestria if ponies lack fingers? Were they introduced to it by some fingered creatures? Clearly not by dragons or griffons, since they have claws instead and they have only four in one hand instead of five.

Same question with the sexagesimal system, because we know they use units such as minutes and hours.

I remember reading a fanfic where the author had invented a base-20 counting system that ponies used and it was explained in detail how it was invented
>>
>>42878626
ponies count in Base(3+1)

How many holes does a mare possess?
Let's count and see:
1 mouth
2 nostrils
2 ears
1 ponut
1 vagina
1 urethra
2 teats
10 holes, the total is 10 holes, therefore they would obviously count in base 10

How is English even a thing in Equestria?

You can't take what you see in the show directly at face value, the show is heavily localized for human viewers.

I used base 4 in a greentext before, had a couple of austist derail the thread saying it's stupid and not canon.
After that I away used base 10 in fanfiction.

I think 20 was called "gross" or something
>>
>>42881097
you're gross bro
>>
>>42881097
"gross" is what 20 is already called in English, but how does that specifically relate to its invention in equestria?
>>
>>42879583
No, they count in Base 12 like civilized creatures
>>
>>42881583
I saw what you did
