But most unfortunate for Numbers. We have 4 fingers, making binary capabilities, now if we had 60 fingers... then it would be a different story. With 5 fingers on each hand, and two hands, that is the product of two primes, and with 7 fingers on 3 hands, also the product of two primes... You have something to look forward to in Genetic Engineering 2077. Eight fingers on 4 hands? Personally, my fingers count only to 1023, and have for decades.

The article points out specific use of specific techniques to probe cache and other efficiencies, which is valuable.
