I recently heard that the nerves controlling the pinkie and ring finger are intertwined to the degree that it’s almost impossible for most people to move the pinkie and ring fingers without the other. Does it count as “independent” if one twitches while the other does the real moving? I think I may finally be special!
To learn to play guitar I had to get my fingers to move more independently. Difficult at first but you can do it. I assume it is similar for other stringed instruments.
I have no issues moving any single finger independently. I just tested it. Maybe because I’ve played guitar, maybe because I’m a rock climber, or maybe I’m just a freak of nature. Or… maybe this is one of those Facebook claims that only 2% of people can do it, when really it’s just a normal thing that everyone can do.
It was a science podcast that links sources. I’ll go back and see where they got it from.
Then I guess I’m special. Neato!
I’m gonna say no, it doesn’t count. Mainly cos I can move one with just a twitch from the other and I’m not special at all.
for me i can move my pinkie and ring finger independently kinda easily but my ring finger can barely move if my middle one doesnt. as for the science i have zero clue
I can’t pin my pinky down with my thumb to make a 3. It’s impossible for me to straighten my other fingers
Sibling! To make three I use the ok symbol.
The only way! I always wondered what’s different about my hand/wrist
This happens with my left hand but I can make a ‘normal’ three with my right hand.
