minus-squareboonhet@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·11 days agoWhy not ternary? Your fingers have more than 1 joint. If you exclude the thumbs, you could even do quaternary or whatever it’s called.
minus-squaredream_weasel@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 days agoIf you can individually manipulate just the first joint on each of your fingers you’re a mutant.
minus-squareboonhet@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 days agoThe 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.
