Be part of a live, international science experiment right here. We want to know if an equal number of boys and girls can roll their tongues.
Can you do it?
Choose the button that matches you and click it to add yourself to the tally:
We can see that 42% of boys surveyed can roll their tongues and 85% of girls can roll their tongues.
Of the total, 74% can tongue roll and 26% cannot.
Is there a pattern you can identify? Can you explain the pattern? Now, go count how many of your friends and relatives can roll their tongues. Click once for each person. Tell us whether they're boys or girls (men or women too) and if they can tongue roll. The page will come back with YOUR totals included.

The ability to roll your tongue is supposed to run in families. This means that either your entire family can, or the entire family can't. I'm not sure if this is completely true, because my mother can, and I can't.
