Can you cross your ring and pinky fingers?

Question

Yes, random. I know. I was crossing my fingers for luck the other day, and I crossed my pointer and middle finger, and my pinky and ring finger. To my amazement, people around me said "Whoa! how can you cross your ring and pinky fingers like that!!!" and they could not themselves do so. I think they are wierd. They say I am. They swore to me that they were not kidding. I don't see how this is difficult. What say you?

Answer 1

Yes, I can on both hands.

Answer 2

The pinky sort of rests on the edge of the ring finger, not what i'd call a total cross over

Answer 3

numbness in the pinky and ring finger on both hands sounds like a nerve issue at the root...which would be C8...or right below the 7th cervical vertebra...if that space is compressed...which could have happened unknowingly in the accident...it could pinch the nerve and he would get numbness in the pinky and ring finger...as for the popping at the elbow it could be that the nerve is actually pinched there in each arm but something else could be going on...I dunno much about B12 defficiency but nerve injury sounds most likely to me...hope he finds out for sure at the doc and gets better soon

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

Yep

Answer 6

Sort of with my right....not at all with my left....and this is strange seeing how I have very long fingers!!

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

I think it's a genetic trait - kinda like whether or not you can curl your tongue.

Answer 9

sort of
I got short fingers

Answer 10

I am right-handed and can only do that with my left hand. Weird!
