12 is easy: you have 3 phalanges on each of your 4 fingers, leaving your thumb as a placeholder to count to 12. How do you count to 31?
I’m aware of the abacus hand method, but sadly it wasn’t taught when I was a kid in school, when my brain was still elastic. I’d probably have enjoyed math more if they had. Is counting to 31 part of that method?
Also you can still learn things. Sure kids pick stuff up quicker and get small nuances like accents in language but the human brain is very elastic throughout life.
Count to 31 on one hand, 1023 on both, just using the digits.
