Yesterday I set you a quirky brainteaser puzzle. Five two-line rhymes that described something, your task was to work out what was being referred to. How did you get on?
The answer was: The digits of the hand.
The order on the poem is pinky, ring finger, middle finger, index or pointer finger and thumb.
The pinky hits the quotation mark key on the keyboard when typing, and people often raise their pinky off the cup when drinking tea. The ring finger bears a wedding band when married. The middle finger is an obscene gesture when standing alone. You point with the index finger to make a selection, or use it to pull the trigger on a gun. The thumb can be used for thumb wrestling.
