6. 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.

Solution:
The product of the number of fingers on the left-hands of every person is zero. It only takes one person to have no fingers on their left hand for the product to be zero, because anything multiplied by zero equals zero.

Listen its me again this is for lateral thinking, in the fact category. Number 6 clearly suggest that a human being only has nine fingers. That's untrue, you are born with ten fingers and ten toes wether you like it or not, ask a doctor. If this suggestion was correct, then the pinky should not be a finger as well. Just because something is a different name doesn't make it different, consider the human race... blacks...whites... asians... mexicans. Different names same race.
