Also, I notice that the poll results are taking the shape of the inverse of a Bell curve. About the only population I know of that will produce results such as this when polled along a performance continuum is a distilled set of pure pathological liars. I regard this as a superb result. I thank all of you.

Yep, and do it in such a way that my hand is firm but loose so it literally claps in on itself, and apparently is hard for most people to copy the motion since I'd need a speed shot in real time to really expain it visually, because there's more to a full clap sound than simply closing your fingers on your palms, they literally have to be moving fast enough to slap, and it takes motion below the wrist to get the motion right(when doing this, it makes a much louder sound). That I've seen, most people have trouble with.

I remember not knowing how to snap my fingers until I was ten or so, but could do a true sounding one handed clap no problem

I got topped by Elec's "Visual-to-Audio Conversion Dragon Stance" kung fu!

Can I edit my first post? (post #27)

EDIT: Whoops, I edited the wrong post. I'm not a moron, I swear it!

Moving the wrist is cheating. I can clap my fingers while keeping everything else still. The loudness depends on how sticky the palm is...

Not from what I've seen, it's like a drum for me, its the speed of the hit that determines the audible impact-- I think
