Put your hands on your desk. Because we're Anglo, we'll go left to right.

left pinky is #1, right pinky is # 10.

Which one is your favorite?

....If it helps, the following exercise may make selecting it easier:

Imagine that you are held by a madman. He has 9 of your closest loved ones in his merciless grip. He gives you 9 choices.......between your loved one's life and one of your fingers. meaning.....he will either kill your loved one, or chop off one of your fingers....your choice of finger. he does this 9 times. Assuming that you would sacrifice a finger for those you love...and assuming you have 10 fingers to start with.....which finger would you be left with at the end of this ordeal?
