3) [Puchatek] 25-7-2011(10): Walking on your fingers it's really difficult to make headway - any progress at all is very slow.

4) [mantixen] 15-10-2008(7): Even if you walk with your fingers, it's important to continue to make headway and never give up.

5) [n1williams] 22-11-2009(4): The best way to MAKE HEADWAY, is to let your FINGERS do the WALKING.
