Left Hands Only
Assume there are approximately 6,000,000,000 (6 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, for five fingers per hand. If you cannot estimate the number then try to guess how long the number would be.
Discussion
This is not fair.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the question asks me to assume that there are 6 billion people on earth. A person is also assumed to have have 5 fingers on each hand. I thought it would be up to the reader to know if there were 6 billion “perfect” people, which is usually implied, or 5,999,999,999 “perfect” people and one amputee. Good question though. :P
Very clever!
yeah you should probably leave out the 5 fingers per hand part
This is a really morbid riddle…. talking about people with blown up hands
sneaky, i like it.
