minus-squareArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·edit-22 months agoRather 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 0 to 1+2+4+8+16=31. It’s like using digits to count instead of tally marks.
