Assume there are approximately 5,000,000,000 (5 billion) people on Earth. What would you estimate to be the result, if you multiply together the number of fingers on every person's left-hands? (For the purposes of this exercise, thumbs count as fingers.) If you cannot estimate the number then try to guess how long the number would be.


heeheehee its a trick question

I assume one person has no fingers on their left hand.

Yeah. A little too clever. You have to make an assumption. I've never seen a no fingered man. If I did, I would look him in the eye and say "my name is koods, and you didn't kill my father, but do you know anybody with six fingers, because he should prepare to die."

We could bend it in a similar way and say that to end up with zero fingers on their left hand, they had to get -5 fingers at some point and if they didn't still positively possess the -5, they wouldn't have zero now. Clearly fallacious but still a fun way to argue there could end up being NEGATIVE 5^5billion!!! WHOA!!!

How can you have -5 fingers?

That would be like indents in your hand.

Adding negative fingers may be the same as subtracting fingers in math, but in biology there's no such thing as negative fingers - except for the one I posted earlier.
