    I’m still trying to wrap my head around the Czech Republic, where apparently holding up a single index finger means 2.

      Not a Czech but now that you mentioned it I want this here too!

      I mean have you tried counting from either end using all your fingers i.e. thumb == 1? That dexterous shit is hard so making a single index finger two instantly makes it nice and smooth!

      (Instant edit: this obviously only holds if index finger+ middle finger counts as 3, otherwise there really only seems to be an advantage in calling out 2 and my argument collapses)

      I do have some experience with the Czech Republic and I’m pretty sure this isn’t the case.

        I was only there a month. I can’t claim to be any kind of expert. But I do know I wound up eating two sausages.
