If you have a big tongue, do you have more taste buds?

The long-running series in which readers answer other readers’ questions on subjects ranging from trivial flights of fancy to profound scientific and philosophical concepts

My 13-year-old daughter just came to me and said: “I have a much longer tongue than my friends. Does that mean I have more taste buds?” I don’t know who else to ask; can the readers help? David Wynne, West Sussex

Post your answers (and new questions) below or send them to nq@theguardian.com. A selection will be published next Sunday.
