try Quinary (base-5), then you can count much higher, and you won't even have to take your shoe's off.

Wrong again, my furry friend. You can only count the same number of fixed elements in any integer base. Only the representation of the number changes.
In quinary you still have 42(base5) fingers & toes exactly the same number you have in decimal, that number being 22(base10) :-P
so which does he have 6 of, and which does he have 5 of ?
