Jokes on you, I use my fingers as bits for a total of 1024 numbers (0-1023). Or I can sacrifice 1 finger time be a sign bit and count negative numbers too.
Jokes on you, fingers are tri-state (fully extended, fully closed, bent at middle knuckle) not binary, so I can count to 59049.
Someone with better finger control should be able to treat them as quad-state, granting the ability to count to 1048576 by bending just the outer knuckle.
I like this idea in theory, but some combinations of fingers are very awkward to extend without the others, and one particular combination is very rude.

Let’s just keep multi level cells to just flash memory.
3^10-1=59048.

Maybe that’s just because 132 is a rude number.
I can’t imagine a scenario when you need to be able to do BOTH positive and negative numbers at the same time 😂
If we figure out a clever trick with phalanges we can go even further
