So the computation goes as follows: 9 × 6 = (10 × 5) + (1 × 4) = 54. Consider another example, 8 × 7: Five bottom fingers make 5 tens, or 50. Two top

Insertion to the fibrous tissue proximal to the metacarpophalangeal joint of the middle finger was also reported. The reported incidence of the extensor medii proprius in cadaveric dissections ranges from 0% to 12%. Meta-analysis showed that the prevalence of this muscle was significantly higher in North American and Japanese populations than European and Indian populations. The extensor medii proprius extends the middle finger. The presence of this anomalous muscle results in a more independent movement of the middle finger. The extensor

In a video interview posted on October 29, 2009, Gabe Newell said, "for people who joined the Boycott Group on Steam ... they're actually pre-ordering the product at a higher rate than Left 4 Dead 1 owners who weren't in the boycott". Valve was forced to alter its original cover art for the game by the ESRB; the original image depicted the series' hand with its little finger, ring finger and the thumb torn off, which would thus have the index finger and middle finger remaining. It was deemed too explicit, but to appease the ESRB,

The stock ball for a left-handed finger spinner rotates the anticlockwise as seen by the bowler. For some finger spinners the index and middle fingers do a lot of work, snapping, to impart spin on the ball. At the other end of the spectrum there are finger spinners who rely much more on the wrist action. Either way, the wrist position at the point of release determines how the ball spins. There is a large range of variations used by

No one now may ever know the meaning of the flutings and no one now should expect to know it. That need not stop people responsibly offering meaning or intentionality hypotheses, Sharpe and Van Gelder state. But all such hypotheses must subject themselves to the data uncovered by investigations using methods such as those above. Tracings of hands and finger flutings often show the dimensions of children.

(The use of the index finger indicated clearly that the finger of blame was being pointed at the recipient, rather than the middle finger as a contemporary obscene gesture.) If appropriate, a 'Joint' was awarded for additional acts of stupidity, analogous to a Medal bar. Most recipients were aircrew, as they generally made the most spectacular and public errors, although any RAF personnel were eligible. Among those receiving the award were the crew of a bomber who became lost

An appellate court in Hartford, Connecticut ruled in 1976 that gesturing with the middle finger was offensive, but not obscene, after a police officer charged a 16-year-old with making an obscene gesture when the student gave the officer the middle finger. The case was appealed to the Connecticut Supreme Court, which upheld the decision. In March 2006, a federal lawsuit was filed regarding the free speech issue. Giving the finger has resulted

The mountain-chain is less well known by its alternative names. One of these is Hithaeglir (meaning "mist-peak-line" in Sindarin, one of the languages invented by Tolkien); this was misspelled as Hithaiglin on the original "Lord of the Rings" map. Other alternative names are the Mountains of Mist or the Towers of Mist. The range stretched continuously for some 900 miles (1440 kilometres) across the continent of Middle-earth.

Hobbits were a branch of the lineage of Men. The Elves call the race of Men Atani in Quenya (one of the languages invented by Tolkien), literally meaning "Second People" (the Elves being the First), but also Hildor (Followers), Apanónar (After-born), and Fírimar or Firyar (Mortals). Less charitably they were called Engwar (The Sickly), owing to

In 1928, Maurice Martenot—inspired by his experience as a cellist—invented the Ondes Martenot, which featured a keyboard that the player could rock back and forth laterally. Other finger vibrato techniques may also be used on pressure-sensitive electronic keyboards with appropriate sounds and patches. For example, some Rodgers digital church organs have an optional voice for the upper keyboard that provides a solo trumpet with velocity-sensitive volume and pressure-sensitive pitch, so a skilled player can play a realistic trumpet solo. Finger vibrato is used on several woodwind instruments, in both classical and traditional music. In

Socrates called one who made the gesture "boorish and stupid". The gesture recurs as a form of mockery in "Peace", alongside farting in someone's face; the usage is later explained in the "Suda" and included in the "Adagia" of Erasmus. The verb "to play the Siphnian" appears in a fragment of Aristophanes and has a similar meaning; the usage

Alternately, "The Middle-Earth Encyclopedia" writes that Meriadoc means "joyful" or "cheerful," while Merry means "having high spirits." Théoden called Merry "Holdwine", and the Hobbit was thus known as such in the records of Rohan. It most probably derives from the Old English words "hold" and "wine", respectively meaning

The index finger represents ego, the greatest impediment to self-realization, so it is considered best avoided when chanting on a mala. In northeast India, particularly those in the Shakta traditions in West Bengal and Assam, the mala is often draped on the ring finger of the right hand, with beads moved by the middle finger with aid of the thumb and avoiding the use of the index finger.

Tolkien sometimes changed the "meaning" of an Elvish word, but he almost never disregarded it once invented, and he kept on refining its meaning, and countlessly forged new synonyms. Moreover, Elven etymology was in a constant flux. Tolkien delighted in inventing new etymons for his Elvish vocabulary. From the onset, Tolkien used comparative philology and the tree model as his major tools in his constructed languages. He usually started with the phonological system of the proto-language and then proceeded in inventing for each daughter languages the many mechanisms of sound change needed. In the early 30s Tolkien

At age 14, Humberto Bruni invented his first device specially designed for his father. The invention was intended to exercise and strengthen the ring finger musculature. After a very short period of time, the results in the independence and strength of Humberto's father ring finger were just remarkable. This first experiment was a real milestone for Humberto Bruni of countless and meticulous observations about the mechanical nature of the human hands. Humberto

An analysis of Chopin's fingering reveals that, like in the "standard" chromatic scale fingering, the middle finger plays the black keys, the index finger, which "normally" plays C and F, is replaced by the little finger. The thumb, usually playing all other white keys, is replaced by the ring finger. While it is fairly easy to cross the long middle finger over the short thumb, acrobatic dexterity is required to cross the

Bybee went to work as a chef at the Torch in 1946. According to a local lifetyle reporter, Milo's claim of inventing finger steaks is questioned and that it may have been passed onto him by the original owners of The Torch. Either way, their origin is so closely tied to Idaho that one suggestion for the Idaho state quarter design was to “do something with the fact

The word "pinky" is derived from the Dutch word "pink", meaning "little finger". In some places "pinky" is also a traditional name for the smallest (youngest) child in a family (especially, when father and mother have 3 children).

Interval changes are accomplished by moving the inside and outside mallets independently of one another, as described in Stevens' book, "Method of Movement for Marimba." As the interval widens, the inside mallet rolls between the thumb and index finger, such that the index finger moves from underneath to the side of the shaft, and the middle finger becomes the fulcrum of the cantilever. The outside mallet is moved principally with the little and ring fingers, although the first

The palmar interossei are supplied by the palmar metacarpal artery of the deep palmar arch. The palmar interosseous muscles "adduct" the fingers towards the middle finger. This is in contrast to the dorsal interossei, which "abduct" the fingers away from the middle finger. In addition (like dorsal interossei) they flex the finger at the metacarpo-phalangeal joint and extend the finger at the interphalangeal joint and thus assist the lumbricals.
