"How do you draw an 'X'? It's a question that is dividing social media.

Top left to top right or top right to top left?

Apparently there are eight different ways to draw an 'X'. Really?

Most people in the Newsround office chose number eight, which starts from the top right to bottom left, then top left down to bottom right.

The picture was posted on Twitter by @SMASEY from Philadelphia in America, and has already been 'liked' more than 40,000 times.

Some people are saying that maybe Americans choose 7 or 8 while people in the UK go for 5 or 6. Others argue being left-handed or right-handed influences your choice.

TV presenter Stephen Fry even joined the debate and revealed he was a 7.

So, what do you think, how do you draw your 'X'?"




I'm on Team 7 with Stephen Fry.

Any freaks on here a 3?

Anyone not doing 5 is a proper Dave Hotspur.

 

[becs]

7 for me too.

Do you feel cross Jesus?

7 for me

 

[Wilfy]

8 OR 7

 

[Discopants91]

9.

 

[Arkle]

7 also but I might do an 8 in extreme circumstances. Can't think of a situation in which I'd start a line at the bottom and go upward.

 

[Pseudonym Number 1]

I don't draw an X I write an X.

 

[Secret Visage]

8

 

[Fulwell76]

8 for me. I'm left handed if this makes any difference.

 

[hungry mouse]

8 for me.

 

[Deleted User 2893]

Top left to middle then to bottom left. Top right to middle then to bottom right.

 

[The soap powder]

7 every time

 

[WildTurkey]

I don't draw an X I write an X.

But don't write anything to break a sentence up?

 

[Arkle]

Top left to middle then to bottom left. Top right to middle then to bottom right.

Someone's going to say they start centrally and draw four spokes radiating outward...

 

[silas80]

I think if you usually write in cursive it'd naturally be seven.

 

[Town End Farmer Giles]

I start centrally and draw four spokes radiating outward...

8 really

 

[Junior Birdman]

7 is clearly the correct way.
