For example, I'm a white Jewish guy but I've adopted the Japanese practice of keeping dedicated house slippers at the front door.

When you indicate the number 3 with your hand, which fingers do you hold up?

Thumb, index, middle fingers?

Middle, ring, pinky (small finger) fingers?

Index, middle, ring fingers?

I heard Germans do it one of these ways, English does it another, and Americans does it yet another way. Don't know if it's true, but I think I saw that in some movie. Maybe Inglourious Basterds by Quentin Tarantino?
