Exactly.

This is a perfect subset of Trippian mechanics, which includes incorporating a visible counter into all visible counts. Simply add the right number of fingers to the hand at the end your signaling limb. Extensive research with the unwashed public shows they have no trouble recognizing the difference between one finger signifying (1) second and one finger signifying (6) seconds. They aren't THAT asleep.
