I really wanted to participate in the contest, but instagram and Twitter blocked me immediately after registering my account. That's why I can't post a meme there for the first week of the contest. But since I've already made a meme, why should it be gathering dust on my flash drive? So I'll just leave the meme here, even if it doesn't count in the contest.

As far as I know, the Sumerians used a sexagesimal number system. But only two characters were used to write numbers. They could implement automatic merging of adjacent printed characters. That is, if Schumer wanted to type 4, he would have to press the symbol 1 four times. The same is true for printing the number 40.

Therefore, Sumerian numblock would have fewer buttons than our keyboards with Arabic numerals.
