It does if you count on your fingers.


Base 10 doesn't really make sense with fingers. It should be base 11. 10 fingers then carry.

If you want to do base 12, borrow a couple of ears or eyes.

Doesn't make sense, use binary, up to 31 on one hand.

My daughter could count in binary on her fingers when she was about seven.
