LPT: Count with your hands using binary instead of decimal and you can count up to 31 using one hand and 1023 using two!

LPT: Count with your hands using binary instead of decimal and you can count up to 31 using one hand and 1023 using two!

Starting with one hand, assign the following values to each finger:

Thumb: 1

Index: 2

Middle: 4

Ring: 8

Little: 16

When the finger is extended, it has the value above and when it is curled up it has the value zero. E.g. zero is all fingers curled up; 5 is represented by an extended middle and thumb, the number 27 is an extended little, ring, index and thumb and 31 is all fingers extended.

Counting up to 16 would go:

thumb

index

thumb, index

middle

middle, thumb

middle, index

middle, index, thumb

ring

ring, thumb

ring, index

ring, index, thumb

ring, middle

ring, middle, thumb

ring, middle, index

ring, middle, index, thumb

little

Adding a second hand, assign the extra values on the second hand in reverse order. Starting with your right hand:

Right thumb: 1

Right index: 2

Right middle: 4

Right ring: 8

Right little: 16

Left little: 32

Left ring: 64

Left middle: 128

Left index: 256

Left thumb: 512

It takes a little practice at first, but it comes in really handy (at least with one hand).

Are there commas past the decimal place?

Are there commas past the decimal place?

e.g. 111,111.111,111? Is that a thing?
