In theory yes, in practice...fingers don't like cooperating with the combinations of bent and up that you can get by doing that

Yeah, fingers have a strong union.

I do it regularly... I particularly like 4.

In all seriousness, I use it when I need to time something - 32 on one hand means one minute (approximately) with two rotations. I started when trying to determine if my daughter was asleep, waiting for a minute after she'd last moved or talked, and I didn't want a screen or light or noise to wake her (she's always been hard to get to sleep).

So - yeah it's a tiny bit tricky to do some combos, but no more than touch typing.
