I learned how to count in binary using my fingers as digits probably about third grade. The pinkie is the 1. At that age, I thought it was pretty cool that I could count to 31 on one hand, and it stuck with me to this day. I'm sure I'll teach my son the same.

- metageek 16y agoI taught myself sometime around age 13, because I was playing second flute in a youth orchestra, which meant I had to count out long rests, sometimes over 100 measures. Just counting in my head, I kept getting distracted and losing track. (I already knew binary, because I was programming on an 8-bit box.)
