1) If there are 7 billion people in this world, what is the MOST POSSIBLE result when the number of left hand fingers of each person are multiplied with each other, if you don't know at least try to mention how many digits it is

This is honestly very easy, all you have to do is think about it for a while ^ ^

Ex= 3 people with 5 fingers = 5x5x5 = 125
Ex 2= 3 people with 5 fingers and one that somehow has 3 = 5x5x5x3 = 375
Now do that with 7 billion freakin people

Why'd you edit it so soon because these plebs couldn't understand it? Ruins it for anyone else trying to question it.

We have a winner ^ ^
In this world, I can bet that there is somebody without a left hand
Hence.. 381293892849274999271731294172407 x 0 would still be 0

You were asking us to consider fingers on left hands, not fingers on left arms.
If a person doesn't have a hand, then it shouldn't be considered towards a count of fingers on left hands. :P
