Where 960 fits
Why 960 is special
The Maldives is the lowest-lying country on Earth, averaging about 1.5 metres above sea level, which makes sea-level rise an existential rather than economic question.

Roman numerals
C M L X
CMLX uses the subtractive pair CM: a hundred before a thousand — a thousand minus a hundred.
Binary
1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 × 512 + 1 × 256 + 1 × 128 + 1 × 64 + 0 × 32 + 0 × 16 + 0 × 8 + 0 × 4 + 0 × 2 + 0 × 1 = 960
Octal
1 7 0 0
1 × 512 + 7 × 64 + 0 × 8 + 0 × 1 = 960
Hexadecimal
3 c 0
3 × 256 + c × 16 + 0 × 1 = 960
Read as powers of two: 512 + 256 + 128 + 64 = 960.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
9 coils of rope, 6 hobbles
9 × 100 + 6 × 10 = 960. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
1 corner wedge + 6 vertical wedges (sixties place), empty units place
16 × 60 + 0 = 960. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first. The second place is empty, and this is precisely the case the early system could not write unambiguously — the same wedges alone would also read as 1.
Greek (Ionic)
sampi, then xi, marked as a numeral
sampi-xi + keraia
sampi + xi written in descending order and added — the letters carry their values wherever they stand, so this is addition, not place value.
Hebrew numerals
tav, then tav, then qof, then samekh
tav-tav-qof-samekh
tav (400) + tav (400) + qof (100) + samekh (60) = 960, written in descending order.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.
