The answer is 0. [any number multiplied by 0 is 0 so it only takes one person to have no fingers - or no left hand - for the answer to be 0]

can't be bother doing that highlight thing. spoiled!

Just remembered too that maths is coming up.  I won't stop thinking about it all weekend. ='( So anyway, here's a maths question to torture anyone who doesn't have maths next week:

---------------
Assume there are approximately 5,000,000,000 [5x109] (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 question, thumbs count as fingers; five fingers per hand.)
If you cannot estimate the number, then try to guess how long the number would be.
------------------

As before, here are clues if you wish [highlight to read]:
------------------
The answer can be quickly and accurately deduced.
Think about the effect of actually multiplying the number of fingers on the left hands of all the people in the world, one after another.
The calculation might start 5x5x5x5x5x5x5x5x5x5x5x ... and so on.

------------------

And here is the answer =D [highlight to read]:
------------------
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 is zero.
------------------


I remember there was a day when I looked at the clock four times [consecutively] and it read:

4:44pm
4:55pm
5:55pm
6:44pm

kinda scary, but cool.

well anyway, the answer was: [highlight below to see] 
He said, "I am the taxi driver who has been driving you from bar to bar!"

got totally soaked on the way home today. Rain splashed up the bottom of my trousers and over the tops of my shoe, soaking in and making my toes wet. Then the water from my trousers dripped into my shoe and made my sock all wet, which then slid under my sole and settled in a clump under my feet. It was quite fun to feel wet and rain-soaked though; if only I didn't have two unmbrellas and a plastic bag to carry.

I remember when I went to camp last last summer and we went hiking during yellow rainstorm. Started raining really hard as we were about to turn back, and so we did without much further delay. There was a fierce river sort of thing coming across the path from the mountainside too, and crossing that was fun. It felt like an action movie, only a lot less exciting...

After I arrived home, took a nice warm shower and I feel so clean now, though it's really late. But I can't sleep now since I slept so much yesterday. It's like I drank coffee except I don't have that fast heartbeat and the excited sort of feeling. I just don't fee like sleeping yet cause my mind is still racing.

raining harder and harder now. maybe we don't have to go to school tommorow? I wish. anyway, leaving now since mom might check up on me any moment.

feeling so restless. haven't done anything yet. just keep sitting in different positions in different places cause just staying in one place is hard.
can't stop scratching my forehead either... such a chaotic plain of destruction =/

there are currently two rainbows in my sky, plus a sun, a yellow star, two red stars and a bloodrop. ;)

Here's a farfetched 'take a wild guess' think-a-lot puzzle:

The stranger in the bar
Two men went out for a drink together in a bar. One of them looked up, saw a tall dark stranger looking like death and drinking soda water, and pointed him out to his companion. Startled and uneasy, the two mean left and went to another bar some miles away. After a few minutes, they looked up and saw the same sad, pale stranger drinking soda water. Deciding to leave, they went to a third bar, which was empty except for a young couple. However, within a few minutes, the cadaverous man appeared and, in a slow, sad voice, ordered a soda water. Almost out of his mind, one of the men went over to him and said, "Who are you and what do you want?" What did the man answer?

Ok, this isn't an obvious riddle, it's those types that you're not supposed to be able to guess unless by some miraculous coincidence you happen to think of it as a wild guess. So, here are clues if needed: [highlight if you really want to 'spoil the fun' - I always look]
The two men were drinking beer while the stranger was drinking soda water.
The two men hadn't noticed the stranger outside the bars, but there was a connection between them and the stranger.

answer later... or tommorow. or never =P
