When you count with your fingers which finger do you use for number one?
Boost for no reason.@MostlyBlindGamer Interesting. I use my pinky on my left hand. Thumb is number 5. Thumb of right hand is 6, and 10 is pinky on my right hand. It makes sense to me to do it like that since it's straight left to right.

Boost for no reason.@MostlyBlindGamer I am actually surprised and slightly shocked that apparently this is not universal.

Boost for no reason.@MostlyBlindGamer I do thumb, but 4 is really awkward (when I put up the ring finger, the pinky wants to go too) so I'm actively trying to change to thumb-last. I'm doing pinky first, but index first would work.

Boost for no reason.@MostlyBlindGamer I'm genuinely surprised so many people voted for thumb! I'm team index finger (left hand). My left thumb is number 5 and my right thumb is number 6. So interesting how there's so much variety!

Use base-5: start with index, when you get to 5 put your thumb up and your other fingers down. Now thumb+index is 6, etc. You can count to 9 on one hand. If you use your other hand as 10s, you can count up to 99. -

@natty exactly. It’s much sillier and more fun to ask this than “where are you from.”

Boost for no reason.When I'm counting for my own benefit and the number is in the range 0-10, 1-5 are right-little to right-thumb, and 6-10 are left-thumb to left-little. I am right-handed.
If I'm emphasizing numbers while talking, 1-5 is right-thumb to right-little, and 6-10 is again left-thumb to left-little.
