Huh, why? Only four would be a Problem. Even worse, 132.

In the image he isn’t using his thumb to count, so 2 would be the middle finger.

Why would you count with only 4 fingers when the hand has 5?

[-] belluck 3 points 3 weeks ago

I think it’s because in the UK they start counting (regularly) with the index finger, so the regular binary two would look unnatural in context
