Okay, so I had a thought. Since the turtles only have 3 fingers per hand but still live in a world where many things still are in a base 10 systems (at least the counting system, but defo a bit more that I’m forgetting right now) what if they counted with their hands differntly.
Basically in some cultures you don’t count one finger as one, but you rather count the digits of your fingers like this:
(Don’t ask which culturs, I forgor)
So what if the turtles did something similar, either just so they can count farther and get to 12 with both hands,
or they count basically Tip of the index finger, Bottom of the indes finger, Tip of the pinky, Bottom of the pinky and then the thump as 5 (as far as I’m aware, you don’t usually count the thump when you cound using the digits).
So, if they wanted to show, for example how many points they’d give someone for a stunt (like in 03’s Meet Casey Jones) they’d point at the part of the finger, like:
Sorry, just a two
or Five!
and with both hands it would be a ten.
I think I got my point across, but I made some fotos of my hand to show all numbers under the cut (I was too lazy to draw it, also I want to work on my fic but had to get that out of my system)
