I'm thinking more fundamental than that. Quarks, say.

My first thought was that time could be in a spiral/corkscrew with 12 loops...

Actually, that was the second, the first was that atoms would possibly need 12x the mass they do in our universe compared to other properties.

Yes, I am underslept, why do you ask? ;)

I don't think so. Quarks come in sets of three. It's saint's noses that come in twelve packs.

Quarks come in threes? What if you only want a matching pair? What a pain!

That's the pope's nose.

Those are parson's noses where I come from

Yes, and you can't even get matching colours.
