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
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.
Not to be ableist, but can’t most people do that?
They do but they dont know about it lol
