you would start with 0 (pointing at nothing)
nothing -> zero
thumb -> one
index -> two
middle -> three
ring -> four
pinkie -> five
Hey, this seems like it might work! How many numbers are those? Let me count them.
On my fingers, duh.
zero -> thumb -> one
one -> index -> two
two -> middle -> three
three -> ring -> four
four -> pinkie -> five
five ->nothing -> six
So now I got six fingers! What am I, the illegitimate child of a Hapsburg royal?
Fucking internets...
Because while you might think you were being funny, you came off as fucking annoying. HTH!
