A friend and I found out that if you measure the length of your nose on your stretched hand, your nose (almost at everyone) fits in 4 and a little bit more times.

I think this is really weird and I would like to know if this also is with you guys and what you think about this discovery.

Lol it is true:P

There are all kind of weird things, just like when you put your foot against your lower arm it fits exactly. Between the inside of your elbow and your hand it fits perfectly:P Really weird.

I have no idea what you mean. I clicked on this thread an hour ago and I don't know what to do.

Well I would have to say that this is a truth of life. However odd it may be. I also tried the one vonje said and I didn't think it would work but it does.

I just tried it, and yes, it does fit roughly 4 times on my hand. I have small hands and a nose, so I measured and my hand is 6 inches (small right?) and my nose is 1 1/2 inches. That's exactly 4. Fascinating...

I tried them both and they're true. Well, the nose thing is a bit off for me though. But I probly wasn't doing it right.

Oh I get it. Your supposed to let your nose measure your hand...I thought it was vice versa...But it didn't reach 4...I have small hands

For those who don't know what you have to do:
You put the palm of your hand out n front of your face, you put your nose at the bottom, and the length of your nose should measure 4 times up the palm of your hand.

The foot one is where you put the heel of your foot in the crease at your elbow, and your toes should be where your wrist is.

So, basically:

1 hand length=4 nose lengths
1 arm length=2 foot lengths

This I measured:

1 arm length=3 hand lengths

From the given information:

2 foot lengths=3 hand lengths
1 foot length=6 nose lengths
1 arm length=12 nose lengths

I will let V represent a nose length. Using this:

nose: V
hand: VVVV
foot: VVVVVV
arm: VVVVVVVVVVVV
