Starting from the thumb (1)

Ah, why start with the thumb?

I start from the little finger as it avoids the 6yo making rude signs
she doesn't know about.
Still only two digits raised.

So you don't have a missing thumb?

You said
"two thumbs and an index finger? "
Which is 3 digits.
As stated previously, you only need two digits to represent the number 18 in
binary.
One for 16
One for 2
Unless, of course, you are using an alternative version of binary?
