    How do you count in base36 on your hands? I seem to only have 10 (decimal notation) fingers

      You can count up to 1023 in base 2 using your fingers to represent 0s and 1s.

        In theory yes, in practice…fingers don’t like cooperating with the combinations of bent and up that you can get by doing that

          Yeah, fingers have a strong union.

        I understand this, but I didn’t know how one would count up to 36 the first time around. PhlubbaDubba is using joints in their fingers to get additional objects to increment on. If we only used our fingers, we could only get to 10

      Each hand is one base-6 digit.

      Using your thumbs as pointers, count the joints in your fingers on one hand, that gets you to 12, use the other hand’s finger joints to count the thirds within 36, with 4 fingers on the other hand, that’s “40”
