    I’m physically unable to make 8 in binary with my fingers.

    My finger just refuses to go up by itself, it will just go up with its friends.

      I can do it but I have to hold down the other fingers with my thumb or by pinching them into the palm of my hand.

        I don’t bother to fold my fingers all the way when I do it. All you need is a binary on/off, so just bending any discernible amount is sufficient.

      Bend them the other way. Start with all fingers open for zero, and curl them as needed. You only need to move them a bit, so even twenty (thumb and ring finger back, the others curled) isn’t too hard.

      you can cheat it quite easily, just hover your hand over a table or surface, and touch your fingers to the surface to indicate a 1, and dont to indicate a zero, works on your leg, or someone elses, if you felt like it i guess.
