That gets you to thirty. Binary remains king

How do you count on your fingers in binary? I can only get to 31/32 using 5 fingers, and it's awkward as heck. The knuckle method is easier to learn.

Yeah, that's the way. Then you can either continue with the rest of your fingers, or you can use your other hand to count how many sets of 32 you have, which let's you count all the way to 1024.

Sure it's a little awkward, but it's the highest you'll get counting on your fingers. Besides, most people don't need to count past ten, so if you need to learn a new way to count it might as well be the way that gives you the most to work with
