Maya Counting: The ancient Maya developed a very advanced number system. They were the first in the Americas to use the number zero. Today, people in the Americas count based on the number ten. In ancient Maya times, Maya counting was based on the number twenty.
The Maya numeral system is a vigesimal (base-twenty) positional numeral system used by the Pre-Columbian Maya civilization.
Most countries use the Arabic (or Hindu-Arabic) numeral system. It is the standard number system we use all the time.
It is the number system we use everyday.
well.... if you had more then one number system and we dont use them, then the one we use is better because we use it, other wise we would use a different system. hope this helped :)

Yes, most countries around the world use the metric system as their standard system of measurement. The metric system is a decimal-based system that is widely adopted in many countries for its ease of use and consistency.
As of 2016, the only countries that do not use the metric system are the US, Burma and Liberia. All other countries use the metric system.
The civilization you are referring to is the Maya. They developed an advanced calendar system, a complex written language known as hieroglyphics, and impressive stone pyramids for ceremonial purposes. Additionally, the Maya were among the first to use the concept of zero as a placeholder in their number system, which showcased their sophisticated understanding of mathematics.
All countries use the metric system, except Liberia, Myanmar (Burma) and USA.
