I'm using octal as a sub-base to make it easier to count digits, just like using commas to group decimal digits. I think that still counts as binary tho!
I thought the finger counting system in that video wasn't particularly great (the solution for finger issues was a bad one, and four (I..) can easily be interpreted as a rude gesture) but the mental maths systems were cool
wow i cant believe nobody else pointed this out but today someone on discord informed me that I accidentally misplaced a bit when multiplying 10 by 101. According to this chart, two times five is eighteen.
This loss meme is a bit complicated
Loss in the n^th^ dimension.
Hexadecimal representation with extra steps.
The system in the video allowed using and easily converting between any base that's a power of 2, like octal and yes, hexadecimal
The person here is using octal
Technically this is Octal since each digit (continuous symbol) has 8 possible states before you reach the next digit. 🤓

There are 11 possible "digits". 🤓🤓
By your definition having some separator every 3 decimal digits would make it base 1 000. 🤓🤓🤓

I found that holding my thumb horizontally and either putting fingers on top of or behind it worked better for me
