The system in the video allowed using and easily converting between any base that’s a power of 2, like octal and yes, hexadecimal

The person here is using octal

Technically this is Octal since each digit (continuous symbol) has 8 possible states before you reach the next digit. 🤓

There are 11 possible “digits”. 🤓🤓

By your definition having some separator every 3 decimal digits would make it base 1 000. 🤓🤓🤓

I’m using octal as a sub-base to make it easier to count digits, just like using commas to group decimal digits. I think that still counts as binary tho!

I thought the finger counting system in that video wasn’t particularly great (the solution for finger issues was a bad one, and four (I…) can easily be interpreted as a rude gesture) but the mental maths systems were cool
