How many fingers does an alien have?
Q: How many fingers does an alien have?
A: Ten

I bet this has been asked as an awkward interview question.

Not true, if aliens are anything like horses. Then they have 1 finger.

Base 1 is never base 10.

Something like a horse would have two fingers, one on each forelimb.

Or four, if they counted with their hind limbs also.

Hmm.. maybe a worm?

Although thinking about it, I remember reading a scientific paper [1] where worms were observed wearing shoes and hats so maybe worms don't have any fingers? Oh dear, this mathematics stuff is hard.

Yes, I had the same thought last night.

Maybe a race of severely disabled alien horses?
