Many old number systems were based on 12's because of the following way of counting with the hands.
  • By using the thumb on one hand, a person can easily count to twelve on the four fingers by touching the tip and then the first two joints of each finger.

  • By using the same method on the other hand, the same person could keep track of how many times he or she reached 12 on the first hand.
Try out this method and calculate how high it is possible to count using this method.
Enter a number.
