Used to be able to put myhand sflat on the floor when I was taking TaeKwonDo. Now I can still touch the floor after a couple warm up stretches but that's it.

5'10" 260lbs knees locked and I can touch the floor with my short arms (very broad-shouldered with about a 5'8" wingspan and a big gut). I can't imagine the goemetry required to not be able to at least touch my toes...

I can get to the floor. When I was taking yoga I could go palms and I could do the splits.

I can easily do 2, 3, & 4...of course I have to bend my knees to do it though but then you didn't ask that. ;)

If you can touch your toes why couldn't you touch the floor? Can't make the extra 1.5 centimeters?

I can touch my knuckles to the floor.

Most people should be able to touch their toes. The real question should be can you touch your toes without bending your knees.
