Default 1 is one, 2 is Two..... Why?
Have you ever thought why........
1 means "one", and 2 means "two"?
The roman numerals are easy to understand but what was the logic behind the Phoenician numbers?


It's all about angles !


It's the number of angles.
If one writes the numbers down (see below) on a piece of paper in their older forms, one quickly sees why.
I have marked the angles with "o"s.

No 1 has one angle.
No 2 has two angles.
No 3 has three angles.
etc.

and "O" has no angles


Interesting, isn't it?
