    And i can count using my hands up to 1023 with the binary system :p
    (gonna look into your system too, then i have more ways to count on me)

    Edit: l like the babylonian system, it looks like a numpad but instead of having a row only for 0 its 10, 11 & 12
    Easy to understand & remember too

        I think your hands should at least be flexible enough for 4 & 132 (its one (4) or booth (4+128) middlefingers)

        when i count with binary i mostly just “drag” the finger a bit forward instead of complely folding it.
        Its more comfortable and faster, i really just need to understand it myself what is on or off.

      I’ve always has difficulty with it, largely since I only learned my times tables to 12 as a kid (American education, amirite?). I so rarely count in my fingers beyond 10 that it hasn’t been useful to memorize that next set.
