I'm physically unable to make 8 in binary with my fingers.

My finger just refuses to go up by itself, it will just go up with its friends.

I can do it but I have to hold down the other fingers with my thumb or by pinching them into the palm of my hand.

I don’t bother to fold my fingers all the way when I do it. All you need is a binary on/off, so just bending any discernible amount is sufficient.

Bend them the other way. Start with all fingers open for zero, and curl them as needed. You only need to move them a bit, so even twenty (thumb and ring finger back, the others curled) isn't too hard.

Try bending at the first finger joints instead of at the knuckles.

Flip your hand around

Then its a different finger

you can cheat it quite easily, just hover your hand over a table or surface, and touch your fingers to the surface to indicate a 1, and dont to indicate a zero, works on your leg, or someone elses, if you felt like it i guess.
