how many points


 
Tape two pencils together so that the points are even. Also be holding a single pencil. Have someone close their eyes. Place the double pencil points on the person's forearm. Ask the person how many pencil points are touching their arm. They will likely say one. Touch the double pencil points to one of their fingertips. This time they will feel two points.
 
This happens because a person's sense of touch is much more developed on the fingertips than on most other parts of the body.
