The Binary System Discovery

Created by Baruš Jeřábková

Just got to the binary system while trying to understand how computers work. I wanted to try the conversion, then met the finger thing ✌🤘🤙, learned it and made the visualization of the system. It was fun - for somebody who is anything but a mathematician :D

I woke up, tried it and it was completely smooth without practicing!

It's the phenomenon I observed while learning to spin poi and to juggle.
