i don't really mind which system i work with. theres also a system that uses 3600 divisions for a circle and another with 1200. i cannot remember the names at this time but i can work with any of the systems for geometry and physics but prefer radians as it just seems right.

JohnB, I don't know if this is a quiz or a question, but clockwise is clockwise because this is the direction sundials move in.
