Common Wrong Answers
“Hands”
While hands are related to the riddle, they do not specifically fit the clues about 'stretching, spreading, and loudly meeting', which more accurately describes the actions of fingers.
“Arms”
Arms are larger and do not typically share five apiece like fingers do. The riddle specifically references the smaller, more dexterous parts of the hand, which are the fingers.
“Thumbs”
Thumbs are indeed part of the hand but there are only two thumbs in total, which contradicts the clue about sharing five a piece. The riddle implies a count of ten, referring to all fingers.
