Yeah, I use that one when I need to hand-count somewhat large quantities. The Roman system is better (larger numbers), but I can't independently bend my pinky, ring or middle fingers, so it's unusable sadly.
- riffraff 6y agoforgive my question, I am probably missing context and I am curious: why are you hand counting large quantities? I mean, why do you keep it on your fingers rather than just counting out loudly, or possibly just keeping on the fingers numbers up to ten repeatedly for "double checking"? I know there are clicker tally counters which can be useful for e.g. counting cattle or people on a plane, but counting up to 60 seems feasible in your mind.
- karatinversion 6y agoNot parent, but back when I was young and couldn’t afford a sports watch, I kept track of distance while running by counting steps. I would count up a hundred step pairs in my head, and increment a counter on my fingers on each hundred. (I also used a simple system of my own devising to allow counting up to 99 on my fingers.)
