You have 5 fingers on one of your hands. On both you, have 10 fingers. How many fingers do you have on your 100 hands?

Way, way too many!!! Now the superabundant number is one which has, over and above the factors which belong to it and fall to its share, others in addition, just as if an animal should be created with too many parts or limbs, with 10 tongues as the poet says, and 10 mouths, or with 9 lips, or 3 rows of teeth, or 100 hands, or too many fingers on one hand. Similarly, if when all the factors in a number are examined and added together in one sum, it proves upon investigation that the number's own factors exceed the number itself, this is called a superabundant number, for it oversteps the symmetry which exists between the perfect and its own parts.

5 fingers.

Maybe this is speaking to "hands" as in "hired hands," thus, making the answer 1,000?

I think you should probably try this on the Brain Teasers chat board. It isn't working here.
