Oligodactyly is a condition in which children are born with fewer than ten fingers or ten toes. The image at left is of the hands a person with just four digits on their right hand.
It is worth noting that cartoon characters are very frequently drawn with four digits on each hand, which makes them oligodactyl, too!

I had the privilege of being one of Graeme’s students in 2005. As a creatively minded individual I struggled greatly with Mathematics and was falling behind in my HSC studies. Under his careful and creative tutelage I began to truly understand Mathematics for the first time in my life. Graeme patiently taught me to master mathematical concepts in ways I could understand. In the week intensive I spent with him he taught me the entire HSC course, and I went on to receive a Band 6. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
