Why are our fingers, different lengths ??

  Different length fingers make the best grip  +  tool hand !!!!

If all fingers were of same length, our hand would be pretty useless !!!

If we try making fist ,  our fingers naturally curl into a curve that matches round things.

Thumb  =  It is a clamp that works against other fingers.

Index  +  Ring  =  They help with  precision and power.

Middle finger  =  Anchor in the centre.

Pinky finger  ≠  It tucks in and adds stability.

This length difference lets the hand to form a power grip.

If.the fingers were equal,  we would just have a paddle  !!!

Our ancestors needed hand for climbing. 

Equal fingers would have made us worse at surviving,making tools etc

Bheja Fry question

 It seems a very straight forward question.  

Question 

You have 80 apples. You divide them by half   and add another 30 apples . How many apples you are left with ??

Hint  :  It is not  70  !!!

Answer 

At the first glance ,  we make calculation that

We have 80

Dividing it by half , half of 80 is 40

Then add 30, totally 70 apples !!!

But it is clearly said answer is not   70.

We will again go through question.

It says, we have 80 apples.

Divide them by half  !!!

Here is the culprit.....

We must divide by half, not dividing by 2 !!!

That means,   80   /   ( 1/2  )

==>>   80  *  2  =  160     !!!

Now again add 30 apples.

==>>   160   + 30  =  190  Apples.

Finally we are left with      190   apples  !!!
