[edit] Finger counting

I have removed this recent addition from the article:

Base32 can also be used for counting binary, and then each hand represents a digit. With one hand you can count to 31 and with two you can count to 1023. This is how I do it: Since it's hard to keep down the ring finger while having the little and middle finger up, I figured out that keeping them all down (except the thumb), and to indicate that one finger is down, you touch the pawn. The thumb is kept right up, apart from the hand and index finger, and to indicate it's down you touch the index finger.

If any other sources describe this as a procedure used by more people than the author, this may be relevant, though I think it would be more so at Binary. As it stands, unsourced, I don't think it belongs here.--Niels Ø 11:50, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
