This is my second language and I laughed so hard because sometimes, I don't want to do math in my head and instead of going "four twenty sixteen" the old ticker goes "fuck it, 96"
This is because France used to use a base 60 counting system. When they switched to base 10, they decided to do this instead of thinking up new numbers, so as not to confuse the people who were still used to the base 60 system.
