Piece by piece, the question leads you there; the answer is close at hand.

Look at your open hand, laid flat in front of you. This answer has been at the end of your arm all your life. As a child, you counted with it: the thumb first, then each finger in turn, down to the smallest. On this one hand, how many fingers can you see, thumb included?

  • 4
  • 5
  • 6

Thumb, forefinger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger – count them out loud. Did your mum or dad count on their fingers at school too?
