So proud of him!
Don’t we have 1010 fingers though, 101 on each hand?
Ackchyually humans have 10 fingers, indexed 0 to 9
We taught our daughter to count starting at zero. Her kindergarten teacher was not amused.
Counting starts at one, indexing starts at zero.
I didn’t want to spoil their fun, but I’m glad you did. That kid’s going to experience an embarassing moment of parental disillusionment the first time they try to be clever with a halfway competent math teacher.
Eight fingers and two thumbs for ten digits.
I just realised that digits translates to Finger in german. And finger also translates to Finger. But you have 10 of the former and 8 of the latter. Funny.
It’s as if people used their fingers when starting counting things… How weird
Me casually using base-12 (Mesopotamian) for counting
So just for clarification, when was your son born?
