OK, now I'm confused - aren't the index finger and forefinger the same one? How on earth do you manage that?

Whoops, I actually meant to type middle finger ._.

Ah, I see. Admittedly, I still don't know how you manage that...

[Haiz]

I only learnt to snap my fingers at all recently. My (eight years younger) brother learnt it before me and went around, snapping constantly, making me almost snap, so I had to tell him to quit it. but then I somehow found out how to do the thing, and now I'm the one going around doing it.... *snaps fingers* "REMARKABLE" *snaps fingers again*

Haha I'm not even sure that I know, it's just something that I've inherently been able to do. And yet I can hardly even snap my fingers the normal way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I remember very recently, after years and years of trying and failing to snap my fingers, walking up to my mom and saying, "I can't SNAP" *snap!* "my fingers!"
*beat*
*stares at hand* "Oh my gosh, I have the power!"

And that's how it finally worked without any discernible reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, I've never met another person who could do the clover tongue! Good to know I'm not actually alone out there

I couldn't snap for the longest time?? But then I decided I was GONNA and after a long week of rubbing my fingers raw. I did. I snapped like crazy for a really long time and it was probably super annoying but I get stuck on hand signals and motions kind of so it wasn't anything out of the blue  ¯\_( ᐛ )_/¯

My brother couldn't whistle for the longest time. And then something clicked and now he can and so he does it all the time.

Me, I remember vividly the first time I learned how to roll my R's. I was at a piano lesson, and this kid named Brett had his lesson after me, and I said "Brett" a bunch of times over until my tongue started to roll when I said it. I was really happy because we were learning about things like that in Spanish (though it took me quite a while to actually be able to roll R's in the right places).

I can snap my fingers, but it only works when I do it with my right hand.
And I can't whistle, no matter how hard I try, which is infuriating! D:

It was kind of the exact opposite for me - I used to whistle a whole lot when I was a kid, but for the past few years I can't even make a sound when I try...

[Noodles]

I can whistle, snap (normally), and do the clover tongue thing. I can't wiggle my ears or lick my elbow. (Buuuuut I can't touch my toes either so the latter's probably not surprising)
Oh also I can seal my nostrils shut by inhaling suddenly, that's gotta be worth something.

[Auleliel]

I can whistle both exhaling and inhaling (and before I had braces I could whistle between my teeth, too), I can snap with all of my fingers, and I can close my nostrils with my upper lip.

You got me to go through a big sniffling fit trying to do that! (unsuccessfully, I might add) At least I'm in my own room and not in public 

Oh, and that reminds me. I can not only touch my toes, I can place the palms of my hands on the ground without bending my knees! For a very short time, but it still counts!

I just tried, and apparently I can do the same... although somehow only with my right hand.

[Yuuago]

Same! (Not just for a short time, I can hold it - well, a good while) ... Hold on, is this unusual? AHH this is the one special thing that I can do, then! : D
