How many fingers can you fit between your teeth (pointless and lighthearted!)?

Random, pointless question following a mundane discussion where my partner claims that I have a superbig mouth and I think it's his that's small... How many fingers can you fit (vertically) between your teeth when you open your mouth as much as you can?

I can put all four fingers there relatively easily, he can only get two there.. Surely he has a small mouth...!?

Erm, more than four?? I can fit four in and spread them out a bit Confused

Now I feel like a weirdo Grin

Vertically?

3 horizontally (tiny hands too) no wonder my dentist hates me Grin

@ISeeMisledPeople I had to think about why we talked about it, but I think it stems from a time when I had bought some favourite chocolate truffles to surprise him with, and asked him to close his eyes and open his mouth, I think I was like 'open it more', and he 'I can't?'.... That was a while ago but struck me again yesterday :-)

Another discovery I've made today: it was more difficult to get the four fingers in the morning, so maybe the jaws flex over the day?

4 easily.

Just about 2, but that's because I've had my jaw joints replaced on both sides. Don't do it, not fun!
