I can tell you roughly where all the main roads from № 1-20 in my country lead
Also I can count up to 1024 on my hands in binary
Not to be ableist, but can’t most people do that?
They do but they dont know about it lol
Why not ternary? Your fingers have more than 1 joint. If you exclude the thumbs, you could even do quaternary or whatever it's called.
If you can individually manipulate just the first joint on each of your fingers you're a mutant.
The first one from the tip I can't manipulate individually so you're right, base 4 is impossible. But 0/1/2 I could do an all 3 fingers and my thumbs. Technically that means the ability to count to 59049, though it'd be a painstaking process.
