  3. Tally marks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tally_marks

    In the fifth row the fifth mark crosses diagonally, forming a "five-bar gate". Tally marks are typically clustered in groups of five for legibility. The cluster size 5 has the advantages of (a) easy conversion into decimal for higher arithmetic operations and (b) avoiding error, as humans can far more easily correctly identify a cluster of 5 ...
