Let's go all out, and extend all 5 fingers, this will equate to "32" when we add all the fingers together.

"little" finger (1),
ADDED to :
"ring" finger (2),
ADDED to :
"middle" finger (4),
ADDED to :
"index" finger (8),
ADDED to :
"thumb" (16),

1+2+4+8+16 = 32.

How's that? you can count upto 32 on one hand now, instead of a measly "5"


My maths must be old school because i get 31

1+2=3+4=7+8=15+16=31

Or am I adding up wrong  ^&^ !@#
