According to my chinese teacher, one of her students went into McDonalds and was trying to get two burgers, so he held up his thumb & index finger to show he wanted two, just like he'd do at home in the US. Well, you can see from above how many he actually got.... :-)

I use that as well, and the number 6 is slanty (inverted) chinese ideograph of six. I use that alot, quite handy when telling folks the number of things without the use of 2 hands.
