very similar trick to the 11 fingers one:

count the fingers of your left hand

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

everyone knows you have 10 fingers right?

so count down the fingers on your right hand:

10, 9, 8, 7, 6

but 6 + 5 = 11

ta da!

Impressed me when I was eight anyway!

can we quit with the riddles now?

I really have to do some work ;o)
