The game's question

This one is just for a smile: read it aloud and see who laughs first.

Lay one hand open, flat on the table in front of you. You have carried this answer with you all your life. As a child, you counted with it: the thumb first, then the pointer finger, all the way to the little one at the end. It even worked under the school desk. How many fingers do you see on this one hand?

  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
Need a hint?

Thumb, pointer, middle finger, ring finger, pinkie: count them out loud. Did you count on your fingers at school too?

See the answer

Answer: 5—from the thumb to the pinkie.

Why this game : One open hand on the table—and the math lessons of long ago come and sit down with you.
