Assume there are approximately 5,000,000,000 (5 billion) people on Earth.
What would you estimate to be the result, if you multiply together the number of fingers on every person's left-hands?
(For the purposes of this exercise, thumbs count as fingers.)
If you cannot estimate the number then try to guess how long the number would be?

5^(**********) if everyone had five fingers on thier left hand.
But realistically there could be people with no hands, so even if one zero creeps up the whole product drops to 0.

I think should be zero as few people would have zero finger so multiply would be zero.
Didn't consider that fact ! Then yes it will most likely be zero.

If I multiply the three digits on car number plates together what number am I most likely to get?
(e.g. 377, 737, 773 are the only plates to give 147 but 234, 243, 324, 342, 423, 432, 146, 138, etc all give 24)
