I think I can only fold the lower joint or both, not the fully-independent flexibility required for this!

Whatever will you do when you need to count to 93716937?!?!

I can get to 60,466,175 if I take my socks off. And I can open my mouth or something for another factor of 2.

I get $10^9$ if controlling each joint completely independently. 3 joints per finger except thumb, which has 2, but is opposable so that’s another degree of freedom. That means 15 joints per hand so $2^{30}-1$.

Well! If you are including opposable, I can go all fingers spread and any combination of them on the same hand opposable (touching).

You can count on mathematicians found on PF to prove that the joke in post #3741 is not a joke when they start debating how high they can count on their fingers while it has been established that there is no real-world use for numbers higher than 10 ... just sayin'.

Can you lend me a 20? If you don't have a use for it?

I can count to 1023 on my fingers …

As an amateur pianist, I long ago learned the fingering pattern for counting up to 31 in binary on my left hand (starting from the little finger as low-order digit) so I can do that without thinking about it, although I then have to convert the binary back to decimal when I want to know the total so far.

Uh ... ONE of those is wrong. "Anything that can be simple, will be simple". What Murphy would say is that anything that COULD be simple will NOT be simple.
