Twelve was once considered to be a magical number. There’s twelve months in a year. Twelve disciples in the Gospels. Twelve inches to a foot. Twelve hours on a clock. Twelve eggs in a carton. The magic comes from its useful divisibility in trades and markets, something traders have known since numbers were first invented. One could buy a dozen bread rolls and divide them between two, three, four, or six people.
