There's a little red Civic that I see in my neighborhood sometimes that has a vinyl decal of The Shocker like this on the rear bumper. I have to chuckle every time it goes by.

There seem to be about six missing.

You've got some talented hands.

Granted one of those six locks up the joints in my middle finger, but they're all variations and combinations of the pictured ones.

Actually, if you consider each finger to be a binary digit (get it?) and excluding the thumb, there's actually 10 combinations missing.

True, but there are other bits of anatomy whose geometry also needs to be taken into consideration.

Simply considering the binary up/down is insufficient. The digits are semi-trinary, but only in theory, and obviously not truly trinary, as you aren't crossing them.
Ignoring which fingers exactly are used in certain ones, and therefore omitting spaces, I got:
1. /
0. \
2. //
0. \\
3. \//
0. \\/
4. \\//
0. \/
5. \///
0. ///
6. \\\/
0. \\\
Many others are redundant, impractical, illogical, impossible, or just four fingers.

I count 16 distinct options...
1) v
2) vv
3) vvv
4) vvvv
5) a
6) aa
7) aaa
 aaaa
9) a v
10) aa vv
11) a vv
12) aa v
13) a vvv
14) aaa v
15) (a fist)
16) (v fist)
"just 4 fingers"? That's the handshake-of-love, my friend.
Also, you can't forget the zero-finger option.
