Ackchyually humans have 10 fingers, indexed 0 to 9
yea imagine if 0 was worth 1 all of a sudden
by that logic finger 2 is worth 2, 3 worth 3 and so on? so you have 45 fingers?!!
1 - 1 = 1
I guess we're counting the thumb fingers now. ๐๐คช๐
Even if we aren't OP is still wrong; we'd have 8 fingers, if we don't count thumbs, even if we index them from 0-7. The only way 9 works is when someone doesn't have the common number of digits.
