Little Fingers
Little Billy Joe pointed at something, and three fingers were pointing back at him even though no one else pointed back at him. How is this possible?
Hint
Think about how the way you would point at something, so think about your hand!Answer
When Little Billy Joe pointed, his index finger was pointing with his thumb up, so his 3 other fingers were folded, making those 3 fingers pointing back at him (so his hand was in gun-shape form when he was pointing).Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

omg... that was so easy! i dont think any1 will miss this one
Well toast, looks like u though wrong. I didn't get it.
I thought he was looking in one of those mirror rooms, where he was surrounded by 3 mirrors
C'mon - that one is soooo old my Great Grampa fell out of his cradle laughing at it! It's so old it has whiskers on its whiskers! It's so old, it's how my mother taught me not to point at people!! I thought we were supposed to have editors cheking these things - HEY, EDITORS - WAKE UP !!
well, i kind of have a points about it may be old, but that doesn't make it not accepted onto braingle. It can be old or new, as long as it is an appropiate teaser and is a teaser, then the edditors will accept it. So dont go saying things that you dont know
You are right it is appropriate and they will accept it. It was challenging and I liked it!
If a riddle's old, the old people will get it, but the young people won't, so it's a good teaser all around!
too much negative energy from myke....ignore it. but i still got it it makes me feel good when i can get them, even if they are e z.
Oh you people complain to much, this was a good teaser.
your hint really gave this away, but i'd never have got it without it... was thinkin mirror or something... not sure why lol
Nice 1 but i thought that he may have pointed onto the mirror.
That was a saying I heard about why not to point as well, but this is NOT the first time UNKLEMYKE has been rude. I say we all jump on him...

I don't know how your hand works, but my other fingers don't point at me, but rather curl a bit and point to the side.
stop pointing people, you're poking holes in the air for the fairies to trip over!!
and the answer doesn't work if you're in the army - for some reason (and i'm not entirely sure why) they're taught to point with their whole hand, all fingers extended - used to drive me MAD when my ex-bf did it
otherwise it was cute

The hint gave it away. But without I wouldn't have gotten it. Good one!
My old school didn't want us blaming other poeple, so they told us to point at someone and look at our hand and see that we were pointing ONE finger at them But the other THREE were ponting back.
I thought he was pointing with three fingers at a mirror. I think the answer was much better then my idea.
That was a great teaser-someonesmart had 2 be able 2 think that one and confuse people.
My pastor likes to say that when you accuse someone (pointing at them), you're triply (or thrice) accusing yourself, and, with your thumb, indicting God.
good teaser, but da hint made it a bit obvious!
i thought he was looking in 3 mirrors too
oh, and, I dont think LITTLE billy joe would be in the army.
