Re: no. of Divisers

Very good! I ran out of fingers a couple of times and had to use toes. Ran out of them and went to the dumpster to see if someone had dropped in a bag of fingers. No luck! Then I said, "is there a bettter way?" Came right to me, I went to the store and bought 51 bags of fingers.

Why so many fingers.

Also, you could've used fish fingers. Then, when you're finished counting, you have a tasty snack! (You could use regular ones for aa snack as well, but, the word on the street is, they taste bad. Didn't try them, though...)

Re: no. of Divisers

Do not particularly like fish, so I bought chicken fingers.
