My Biology class is currently studying genetics (which you study at nearly any level), and we need statistical data for a project. All you have to do to find out if your pinkies are bent or straight is put them together and see if the ends touch. If they do, they are straight. If not, they are bent. I would greatly appreciate the help.

For a moment I saw a poll with only Bent and Straight as the options and wondered if I was going to have to close the thread and ban someone. :p

Without specifying how to put your pinkies together, this makes it rather meaningless...

That's the thing - I'd love to have an image... but there aren't really any good images online.

you own a camera?
-
Palm normals parallel or perpendicular?

I'm pretty sure I understand the question. Palms facing you, place the edges of your hands together. Do your pinkies make a V? Mine just barely do. I assumed there were very few people with perfectly straight fingers.

Yes, thank you. That's how you hold your pinkies. Sorry for trying to confuse everyone.

Polls like this make the bring out curmudgeonly-Ryan-with-a-genetics-degree. Ugh. No. Just no.

Straight over here. Am I weird?
-
I don't understand your criterion. My pinkies 'make a V' because they're rounded off at the top rather than ending in a sharp square corner, but that's just because they're tapered; the last joint isn't 'bent' from the previous ones.
