YSK You can count past 1,000 on your fingers by using binary, instead of just 10
With just one hand, you can count to 31, and with both hands you can reach a whopping 1,023. This is because the placement of the held up fingers matters, rather than the amount.
It can be very useful in everyday use, being able to count to huge numbers when you don’t have your phone or pen and paper nearby.
It’s your super power! My pinkie finger and ring finger are linked. I can’t close my pinkie all the way while keeping the ring finger straight.
It’s not like it needs to be perfect in form.
Your middle finger and ring finger are also linked. Keeping only the ring finger straight is more difficult than curling only your pinkie.
