speaking of roids or doping, If everyone was caught for doping in the Tour De France during Lance Armstrong's reign the winners would be this

1999 - FERNANDO ESCARTIN of Spain (originally 3rd)
2000 - FERNANDO ESCARTIN (originally 8th)
2001 - ANDREI KIVILEV of Kazakhstan (originally 4th)
2002 - CARLOS SASTRE of Spain (originally 10th)
2003 - CARLOS SASTRE (originally 9th)
2004 - GEORG TOTSCHNIG of Austria (originally 7th)
2005 - CADEL EVANS of Australia (originally 8th)

As a huge cycling fan, still believe if everyone in those Tours didn't dope, Lance still would have one a couple of them
 
I learned that knuckle trick in 3rd grade and have been using it since.

There's also a cool one that uses fingers for the number 9 multiplication table.

I always used this trick for my 9s tables. I'll try to explain it as best I can lol
Basically you pick a number like 8 and multiply by 10 so 8x10=80 then you subtract the original number so 80-8=72 which means 9x8=72 works with any number

Let me help you with that. Hold 10 fingers up, and pick any other multiple to go with 9. If you pick 8 start from the left pinky and count to 8 moving right. The down finger that creates a gap should be your right middle finger. Meaning there should be 7 fingers to the left of the gap and 2 fingers to the right of the gap. Therefore the answer to 9 x 8 is 72.

Trust me I do it way faster in my head than I can explain. You pretty much add a zero to the number and subtract the number from it. I've never been a finger counting person. I still think mine is easier but that's just what works for me.

I do it the same way. Gets really helpful when you start have to do it with 3-4 digit numbers
