As a European descendant my fingers and toes only go up to about one and a half score. I don't know how many you'd need before you start having no score.

I hear that if you take infinitely many people, give them each a number, ask them to raise the same number of fingers as the number they have, and count the total, you will get a number that's less than 0.
