why is ten a good number ?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

because it's bigger than 9 and smaller than 11

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[9\sim10\sim11\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because we can count it out on our fingers :)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Is that the Only reason @Traxter?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

some people have 11 or 12 fingers :X

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because its table is easy . Multiplication is easy 1000000000*10=10000000000 :)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

because of the ten disciples

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

and also because of the ten little indians

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

that is a result of choosing ten as the base for our number system, @sami-21

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

and also because you can form words out of ten i.e. tenant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 is a good number because it is the only combination of 2 natural numbers that have been useful in super computing

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

@lgbasallote this is a serious question,

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

wasnt it a riddle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is really as simple as we have 10 fingers.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

10 contains the binary code. 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):
