Lift your hands...

     In Nihongo class, the teacher (sensei) asked us a question which required us to raise our hand if we understood the statement. He then proceeded to enlighten us on some of the different ways of raising one's hand and their meanings. According to him, this is from a certain elementary school.
     If one raises his/her arm in a fist it means he/she did not understand the lesson, question, statement or whatever it is that was asked. If the hand was in a V sign it means that the person understood it a little. and if the fingers were spread out it means "totally understood".
     Well, I'm not sure if the same thing goes for all schools. Verifications...anyone?
