You Count on your Fingers Wrong

Sometimes, the most intuitive solution is not the most effective one. This is the case for counting on your fingers in base 10.

So... Not counting wrong, but not counting in binary. Interesting, but not an accurate title.

[@30IYouTube]

1:50 is a reparation of how glitchy states can occur, because they add one, but overflow back to 0. This causes the “level 0 kill screen” in PAC-MAN, and the glitchy appearance of Missingno in the first generation Pokémon games.

Nice

[@unerbittlich]

Nice

[@babyroxasman]

I am very confused
But then again it is 1am

[@owu3109]

Nahhh it’s 3AM now

[@kino_61]

If you want to start use the Sumer way where the segment of any finger is 1 for each side and one hand is 30 (15 segments -including thumb's hidden one- on the palm side and 15 on the back of the hand)

[@harasen_haras5]

Counting wrong? Well, maybe not as good for a computer as for a human. I think I'll stick to my human way for my daily use, but this is still an interesting thing.

[@joepelletier6694]

I knew exactly what you we're going for from the title

[@stormyskyz7881]

I appreciate your videos!

[@damonlaye6175]

This video blew my mind and has commenced a new obsession!

[@biopsiesbeanieboos55]

You forgot to mention that information about which finger represents which value would need to be agreed on and communicated to create a reliable counting system. Left to right, inside to outside, what if the image is reversed in a mirror, is it from the counters perspective or the viewer etc. When each finger represents 1 unit, those problems don’t arise.

[@mortimermouse3086]

That's a really good point

[@deathbringer2000]

1:50 INTEGER OVERFLOW!

[@Lauren_C]

So each hand carries 5 bits of data is what I'm getting from this video?

[@withoutcommentary-kh6rx]

I like to use my thumb as a holder for other fingers when counting, so for me, there is one less digit.

[@bellabee4755]

My friend can count to 1023 in binary on his fingers

[@floydnelson92]

I can too

[@justarandomwoof2247]

Idk why but I can count actually pretty fast like this.

[@INDUCEDPANIK]

GOOD GOD THIS MANS THUMBS ARE HUGE...
that’s cool

[@c.kainoabugado7935]

Nope. I decide that. I count fine.😂

[@HadenBoru]

2:36 I am the rythym core, I produce rythyms.

[@lexibigcheese]

At start of video, as in, before i watch: Well i count in binary so that leaves me up to... 2^9? 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024-1, 1023 yes that was it.
Then clicks on the video only to find that's the exact way:
FOr heAVenS SakE!

[@Dumb-fw1ey]

I think I just pooped my brain😂

[@roucoupse]

The music at 2:50 sounds like coming from an Amstrad CPC. Which game is it? Is it Amstrad?

[@saltysal110]

Background music is distracting

[@markusTegelane]

1 + 1 = 10

[@deadbox2003]

Ok google

[@sonsofradiation9001]

If I did it right at 1:19 100 is 1000 in binary

[@atriplen1831]

Sons of radiation That's wrong, 100 is 1100100

[@sonsofradiation9001]

AtripleN ok thanks

[@SDRIFTERAbdlmounaim]

so this is where the bullshittery starter for u xd

[@jassi1211]

the background music is too much disturbing... its not even required in such educational videos

[@rogeliomendieta-garcia8192]

U got a big thumb

[@crayfishy1771]

This video has 34k views with 1.7 million like💀💀💀

[@hammythesyrianhamster7300]

Wow

[@nini1957]

I clicked LIKE but that changed it to 223 likes, so I removed my like. Sorry, OCD wins again!

[@arbitercs]

what

[@apersonwhoneverateataco1405]

people do not like PAINT

[@CSAlso2]

I can count much more then 1023 and do it on one hand, ASL. Your chosen hand counting language, Binary, isn’t the most efficient when counting with your hands 😀

[@kamrunnaherrekha9043]

Yeah, I can count up to 9999.

[@melody_florum]

I already count like this. I watched a 3blue1brown video and I use it now

[@SmashPortal]

As someone who understands binary, your explanation left me confused from the standpoint of someone that doesn't know it.

[@coppersalts]

132

[@khoa1708]

just watch Interstellar lol

[@ThePiGuy24]

I have counted in binary for a while

[@user-tl2qn1qi1g]

Grow up.
