    Binary is very good for counting with your fingers. With both hands you can count to 1023. One hand is 31, which is still usually more than you typically need to count. It’s also trivial to do once you know how binary works. It takes very little thought, though potentially the decoding could take a bit depending on your proficiency.

      I made it to 27 on my first attempt, so def messed up somewhere. Also, my fingers don’t want to work that way.

      Doable.
