Question

Apart from having 10 fingers, is there any other reason we count until 10 and then repeat?

In: 8

Answer 1

It’s actually easier to count in base 12.
Put your thumb tip of one hand on each fingertip (1-4). Then each finger middle bone (5-8) then each finger lower bone (9-12).

Then for 13, touch the other thumb tothefirst fingertip (12) and the original thumb back on the first fingertip (+1)

You can now count to 144 using both hands, instead of only counting to 10.
