I've been thinking this since elementary school: Binary is so much better as a learning aid than just counting the fingers (which my teachers hated us doing). You can count all the way to 1023 (or 2047 if you're a boy), which is obviously more than 10 (or 11 for boys, again), and when the kids are old enough to get into binary shifting... oh boy does the fun ever start.
have you ever noticed how ever thing is conected in just as simple as starting with the same letter or have the same amont of silbels ? you could just conected about wait not about for sure anything! example: 4 is for some reason the death number not to be mixed with the curs or evil number six " and the 4 finger happens to be the middle finger which is most of the time used to be used in a mean, , evil and so one use so there for those things are conected
the best thing about this is that you can count until 1023 using just your 2 hands... you know what they say, there are only 10 types of people in the world, those who know binary and those who don't
Way back in college, a bunch of friends and I were sitting around drinking and we wondered approximately how many "sips" there were in a pint. I had just started a Guinness so I decided to count -- but I knew that in my present, erm, state, I would probably lose track of what number I was on at some point.
So I counted on my fingers in binary.
Yeah, I was that kind of dude in college... too drunk to remember what number I was on, but not too drunk to count in binary!
@benplotke If you count zero? You mean NOT counting the power of zero? (i.e. starting at 2 and counting up?) ...can't see why it's silly saying 1023; you ARE counting i.e. not skipping all the non-binary numbers, so 1+2+4+8+...+512 = 1023 is perfectly fine.
@00poopmonster Binary is the base two number system. Think about the system we use most often, the decimal system. It has the ones place (10^0), the tens place (10^1), the hundreds place (10^2), and so on. All of the places on the system are based on the number, ten. We can have any number 1-9 in each place.
Binary, however, is based on the number, two. We have the ones place (2^0), the twos place (2^1), the fours place (2^2), the eights place (2^3), and so on.
I was wondering if you could translate pi into binary and my teacher made the worst argument possible and this was you cant put a decimal in binary...IM SENDING HIM THE LINK
I co-wrote a story about a little robot girl, and the way I taught her ABC's was count to 31, then introduce the thing being taught in the 32's place. The robot girl caught on after the first half of binary digits, then when the new term was introduced, it really emphasized it.
I found that pi thing lame because I actually find binary-coded decimal lamely inefficient. Or maybe I should just try and relax and be a little bit less of a perfectionist.
Computer scientist's viewpoint: you're wasting digits. Convert pi to base-32 and dance that, you'll use all of the combinations of your fingers. Alternatively, interpret five bits of pi as one hand gesture and you'll get the same effect.
Love this... Not only have you showed me a cool math thingy, a new dance to master lol, but you've replaced the F word for me with 4... So thanks and a big 4U to those who might be dumb enough to dislike like this vid ^^
ahhh, binary so many memories! i didnt know you existed until you came at me in the form of a oragami ninja heart to the face. ^.^ apparently thats the best way to throw love letters theses days to get your crush's attention, cause it sure got mine. :)
I just clicked on the vsauce lean back on one of the comments of this video. I then watched the entire the thing (including the fake poop bit) and ended up back here, full circle with this video again. I love YouTube :)
Interesting, that's quite an intuitive way of translating standard numeric values to Binary. I suppose you could expand it to handle numbers higher than 31 by using imaginary fingers or another hand to represent 32 and beyond. Coolio.
do more on binary! love it :D

@peltmaster1990 She is not really transforming into binary. But you can of course have a decimal in binary.
0.1 = 1/2
0.01 = 1/4
0.001 = 1/8
etc.
It is just hard to translate decimals in decimal base to a decimal in binary since 1/10 isn't finite in base 2.
