Every time this gets posted it gets debunked.
Oh? I can confirm it's true for North America and China, at least.
Is it the middle one that gets debunked?
Brazilian here, some of us do use the middle one
The debunk got debunked
Dedebunked or just bunked
Rebunked?
I dig that one. I'm going to start using it over the N American set
Personally I've never seen the middle one but that just my personal experience ofc. What I do myself is the left one with a horizontal line
Edit: forgot to mention I'm from Brazil too
where are you from brasil?
Sao Paulo
bro, how??, how you never saw it??, i'm so confused, my life was a ilusion??
Honestly, it's the best one. The left system sometimes has users miscounting strikes, with the squares it's a square or it isn't.
The right one...
Come on now, guys.
Right one is 100% used in Japan. Particularly at bars and such for keeping track of how many of that drink the person/table has ordered.
French here we use both the middle and the left. It depends on the group of friends.
Debunked how? The middle one is the only one I haven't encountered in the wild.
I do a modified version of the middle one, common for people like naturalists apparently, which does four dots to form the vertices of a grid, 1-4, four lines to successively complete a square, 5-8, two lines forming an x in the middle of the square, 9-10.
