      They tried it in France after the revolution IIRC. Didn’t work all that well :)

        I think it was 10 day week with only one day weekend. So 9 days of work instead of 6. Not sure why people didn’t like it.

          But they were only 10 hour days, so it evened out.

                100 longer decimal minutes. One Earth’s rotation was divided into 10 decimal hours, so each decimal hour was 2.4 standard hours.
