Anyone hear of "chisenbop"?  I had some whacky math courses in grade 
school, and we learned chisenbop.  Right hand: each finger is 1, thumb 
is 5; left: fingers are 10, thumb is 50.  So you can easily count from 0

to 99 on your two hands (0-9 right, 0-90 by 10 on left).  Still use it 
to this day...	which garners the occasional odd look.
