Mines the smallest so far but I guess I'm a female.
BTW : What is the point in this research? :]

I was just wondering because in penspinning people say "Woah, that's way to long" and stuff when I generally think it's a good length (21cm) so I just wanted to see what the average hand size was by doing a poll xD.

Hmm, I should stop using that as an approximation for 20 cm, I had that result like when I was 12 and thought it hadn't changed that much.
 
This seems to be asked often.

9 inches...oh wait.

21.6 cm if I really hurt my hand...otherwise it is more like 20.2

23.5 cm thumb to pinky, 24cm thumb to ring.

Might be useful if you don't have a ruler handy:

Doesn't work. I'm only getting 15 on there. Using Google Chrome.

24cm, hurting my fingers, 21cm safe.
That's ridiculous, 3cm is a big different. How is it even possible? I only gain about 0.5 cm when I stretch the fingers.
