Maths query

Using your fingers on the left hand from thumb to little finger count1-2-3-4-5 . so the little finger = 5

on the other hand same again counting backward from thumb to little finger 10-9-8-7-6 so little finger =6

Add the numbers togerther on the little fingers 5+6 =11.

So who said we only had 10 digits on our hands?



Ain't maths fantastic if you can work it out??

Re: Maths query

If you add corresponding fingers from each hand, they all add up to 11 .....

Re: Maths query

In a number of communities in England having six digits on each hand is the least genetic abnormality due to incest (yes, really) and generations of consanguinity.

They probably have trouble with accounting for their digits.

It means close sharing of the identical gene pool as a result of first cousin marriages, even some illegal relationships over a number of generations in some cases. The results ARE horrendous and are costing the NHS a shed load of money and it's increasing.

Here's some facts to chew over :-

Pakistanis are responsible for 20% of birth defects in Sheffield, yet they only make up 4% of the population.

Pakistanis are responsible for 18% of birth defects in Glasgow, yet they only make up 3.8% of the population.

Pakistani birth defects in Birmingham have increased by 43% since 2011.

In Manchester, Derby and Leeds, Pakistanis are responsible for 1 in 10 birth defects.

Birth defects in Luton (where there is a high percentage of Pakistani Muslims) are 63% higher than the national average.

:In the UK as a whole, Pakistanis account for 3.4% of births, yet they are responsible for 30% of all birth defects.

Re: Maths query

If you add the two digits in 11 you get the number two!
