In Taiwan, we can count to 10 on one hand.

FYI a normal human can count to 31 on one hand using binary.
Or 14 if you use knuckles in Arabic
and China has well established hand gesture for 0-9 on one hand.
and even if you don’t know that, it’s quite easy to count to 12 using finger segments.
I have a well-established hand gesture for 1!
Impressive! In binary with one Hand you cant even count to 5!
Use ternary. Up, down, half bent. I think that gets you to 242
Cool
Define normal
A normal person can do it. Only abnormal ones actually do.
Wait… what
Rather than assigning each finger the same value of 1, assign them values of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. Then there’s some combination of fingers that can represent any value from
0to1+2+4+8+16=31. It’s like using digits to count instead of tally marks.I work with binary every day or a notation of it, don’t worry
32 different combinations.
2⁵ = 32.
It’s 2026. You can write the top voted nerd joke and still be dead wrong about the math. We’re in the “You’re absolutely right” era now.
Which comment is wrong about the math? If you include 0, then 0 to 31 is 32 different combinations.
The OP. It’s 32 not 31.
A five-bit value can contain any number from 0-31. So if you treat your fingers as bits…

not great, not terrible.
I don’t get it 😅
On one hand
Imagine what masturbation with that bad boy must be like!!! Hoooooooooo baby!
The joke is he had 8 fingers, which is a mutation from living near Chornobyl.
lol, I guess I was wrong then - I was about to say that OP seems to think the joke is a lot more difficult (with the post title and ‘wait what’ reaction) than it actually is.
“Seen” 🤦
what?
Lol, very good set up
