This has so obviouisly been photoshopped. I don't think this is real.

Actually, it would have been better if the hands on the fingers also had hands on their fingers and so on - fractal in other words.

the number of digits would be 5^n (where n is number of hand's hands) right... so after ten hand children - there'd be nearly ten million digits!!!

Expo-growth and all that! But because the digits are exponentially decaying the actually reach of the hand of hands moves toward a finite limit!

would that be:

1 / x^n = width of child finger

where x is width of original finger

??

Total span = x*(1 + f + f^2 + f^3...)

Where x is span of initial hand and f is the decay factor and is <1

I understood that!!!!!

I'm sure we did something similar in first year maths A level... and we worked with fractals in computing in upper sixth! :p
