What would change if we added another number to how we count?

What would change if we added another number to how we count?

For example, another number would go between nine and ten, then we'd have numbers like this
> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 x 10
> 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1x 20

Is there a reason we have as many digits as we do per ten?

Base ten is 0-9. When you count something on your fingers, do you go "0, 1, 2" for the first three fingers? Didn't think so, retard.

If you add one more to 10 you get 11.

The babylonians used 60 symbols/numbers (base 60)'

Computer use 2 symbols/numbers. (base 2) which is also called the binary number. I apologize for the elitist answers here but your qustion make it sound like you are 15 years old who has not finished school yet. I am just answering for the little hope i have that you are some old bastard who slept through elementary school.

Base 11 sucks OP
Try hexadecimal base 16 way more useful.

If you use binary you can count up to 1023 on your fingers.

Oh yeah, great, until you get to 9 and have a fucking hand cramp. I can't do 9 to save my life (thumb and ring finger up) without using my other hand to hold the pinkie down.

10 fingers, 2 positions for each finger,
so you can count 2^10 = 1024 different numbers.
If the "first" number you wright on your fingers is 0, the bigest is 1023
