I don't get how this is non-logical compared to what I said earlier. 24hour is the same excuse as the empirical system, you can divide 12 by 2,3,4,6 thus it makes things easier. It's a different system than the metric one, we could have said that a day lasted 100hours and week 10days. It doesn't make it non-logical though, it's like changing the basis.

But ordering makes things logical.
