Damn you Sam, I've been sitting here for the last half hour trying to get to 32 on one hand. At first I only got 12, then realized which numbers I was leaving out, but now the best I've done is 27 because I keep skipping numbers somewhere. I can do it pretty fast up to about 5 or 6, then I have to really concentrate and inevitably flub something up.

I can count in binary, but I can't do conversions from binary to decimal. So unless I just learned at a glance what each hand signal meant, It wouldn't be all that helpful anyway.
