Re: How do you count to three?

Left hand: thumb, index, middle, ring, pinky
right hand: thumb index, middle, pinky, ring

This is because I can hold my index, middle, and ring fingers straight without holding my pinky down on my left hand. I have to use my thumb to hold down my pinky for my right hand so I avoid it by counting 4 with my pinky.

Dude! I just realized I have the same problem. It has never affected my counting .... but on my left I can lift my fourth finger parallel to my third easily. On the right, I can only lift my fourth finger if I extend the first IP joint of my pinky (so I guess a little better than you since I can still get my fourth finger up without fully extending my pinky).

cool

That binary counting thing seems obvious now that i've seen it. I can't believe I never thought of that. Totally going to count that way now.

I count Index, Middle, Ring. When I was younger I use to count Thumb, Pointer, Middle though.

Re: How do you count to three?

I figured this out, generally, for three:
North Americans show index/middle/ring.
Europeans show thumb/index/middle.
Chinese/asians show middle/ringpinky.

I basically surveyed a few friends and that was the trend lol.

Like that

decadactyl? lol.

Anyways for me it would be index,middle then ring.
I can't keep my fingers straight when I start counting from thumb first.

Re: How do you count to three?

1 = index
2 = middle
3 = ring.

whoo.

You would count the same way I do.

Re: How do you count to three?

When you look at the splayed fingers of the hand, you'll see that they're divided into three sections each. Using the thumb as a marker, he then started at the base of the finger for one, up to the first knuckle for two, then the second knuckle for three. Four would be the tip of the index finger, and the process repeated for each finger after that.

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
My index is 1, middle is 2, and so on, but thumb is 5. I think I'm going to count the way igotrhythm explained from now on though!
