Someone revive illuminati...wave some Cubans under his nose !

As I'm typing this ( hunt & peck, search & stab ) I realize that someone else will most likely have already posted another riddle or 3 or 4 so I'll apologize in advance for posting out of turn. K ? Here goes.....


If you multiply together the number of fingers on 1 person's right hand, with the number of fingers on another person's right hand, on and on until you get the product of the fingers on the right hands of everyone in the world, what is the final total?
For example..5 fingers x 5 fingers = 25. 25 x 5 = 125. 125 x 5 = 625 etc.etc. until everyone's fingers are multiplied.

Uh...5 to the power of 4 (thumbs don&#39;t count), all to the power of how many people there are in the world.

Hence, 625 to the power of the number of people in the world at any one time.

The number changes every day, so there&#39;s hardly a static answer for it - Only a dynamic answer derived from 625 to the power of how many people there are in the world.

I change my mind - It&#39;s 4 to the power of how many people there are at any one time

it&#39;s too high to have been calculated surely...you&#39;re not looking for an exact answer, rather the working then...?

5^(NumberOfPeople*2)
