How many more times you've written 1-5 than 6-0

[cometear]

I just thought about how teachers are ALWAYS writing in finger numbers and since we don't have >5 fingers, you don't write 6, 7, 8, 9, or 0 as much as you write 1-5. Imagine how many more times you've written 1-5 in your lifetime

I don't have that problem because I use a secret mathematical algorithm to generate additional numbers to represent my fingers in addition to the traditional 1-5 so
a) all numbers are represented equally
b) no pianists can steal my amazing fingerings

Haha.

Actually, 0-9, where 0 is LH pinkie and 9 is RH pinkie (and the rest are obvious), is not such a silly idea. There are pieces where hands cross or interlock, or where hands stray across staves (or indeed where there are 3 or more staves) where ten finger notation is a lot clearer.
