he's a hard working computer programer!


When you can count past your total 22 fingers and toes (assuming you can differentiate them given the extensive webbing), you may jest...

It's probably a stretch, but you might also consider learning how to spell "programmer" whilst you are about it. Incidentally, it's "Software Developer" :-P

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

Uncertain, really. Best guess is six fingers on his right hand and six toes on his left foot...

@metalman

Save it. Any muslim that has ever made Zikr using only their fingers knows all about counting in sequence ;-)

You, on the other hand have spent several days trying to work it out, doubtless having to resort to using google and perhaps wikipedia, before posting :-P

You might also want to go back to said sources of information learn how to use the apostrophe correctly :-P

Hint: which item or items belonging to your shoes are you suggesting it would no longer be necessary to take off?
