Counting on your fingers in the binary system?

you are correct, i am corrected!

Slight hijack…

I once had a computer science teacher in college who had lost 2 fingers in a machinist accident some years before. The first day of class, he announced that we all had to learn to count in base 8 (octal), and said that for anyone who had problems learning it, he jad the solution.

Then he held up his hands and giggled maniacally…

crazy bastard.

I count this way occasionally, and although I don’t do it regularly, I could add or subtract using this method. Anyone care to explain how you multiply or divide?
