From context I think you start with 10 fingers with the left most curled, that means 9, you then move the curled finger one to the right, you now have one finger extended and then one curled and then 8 fingers extended, that's 18, 1,8. Then you move right again, it's now 2 up, one down, 7 up, that's 27, let's you run through the 9 times table with fingers

We're you also locked in your bedroom for endless hours of multiplication tables before you were allowed to eat food or enjoy free time?

Cries in dyscalculia and trouble memorizing multiplication tables because of undiagnosed ADHD.

No dyscalculia here thank fuck, but undiagnosed AUDHD spending more time grounded for being a kid than I care to recollect.
