If a man has a loaf of sliced white bread and a box of ten fish fingers, what is the optimal number of fish finger sandwiches the combination will yield? (Butter and sauces are included.)

4 x 2, and your fingers need to be horizontal and your slice vertical if you're cutting your sandwich in two. Real butter, a layer of peas squished into the bottom slice of bread, tartar sauce, and a faint squeeze of lemon. Jesus, I'm going to tesco to buy the necessary ingredients right now
We live in lean times but I’d still luxuriate with a two times five and five combo. Ketchup, and enough vinegar to render the bread just this side of mush.
I have no idea. I recognize the concept of a fish finger and I recognize the concept of a sandwich, but in Canada nobody has thought to put them together. I will investigate.
4+4+2 is the optimum formula imo. Butter, Ketchup (the latter lightly spread). If it were fish & chips I'd go Tartar, but with white bread & fish fingers, ketchup gives me the most proustian rush.
Assuming it's just for me and not to share, I'd normally go 4's but with the two left over, I'd probably eat them straight from the hot grill pan and burn my mouth.
Conceal a bread knife beneath the palm press and cut as you squish to convince people you do this most Tuesday evenings in the Sea Scout hut, standing by a dripping Baby Burco.
2 sandwiches, 5 fingers in each. Unless your loaf is very small slices. Though I might stretch it to two and a half - two made with two slices of bread, one with one slice of bread with two fish fingers.
A different league! Have you had fish finger sandwiches two days in a row? I’m hankering now after this chat, though I have just eaten boudin noir aux pommes, my No. 1 lunch
Three fish fingers per sandwich. With tartare sauce and crispy lettuce. Bliss.
(Four for pure Dionysian excess.)
Merely an opinion.
Having conducted a freezer audit at the weekend - due to a good deal of month before pay day - I find I have a packet of fish fingers. Rubs hands together.
Yep very much , you could wave it around like a cigar to make rhetorical points about Fish Sticks as the Americans prosaically unpoetically call them . Although ten fish panatellas would be good too
Four per sandwich (arranged three vertical, one across the top), then on the third day but another box of fish fingers, which means five days worth of perfect sandwiches. Hey and indeed presto! (This msg was paid for by Big Fishfinger Corp.) Mayo/Green Tabasco for the win.
Three sandwiches with three fingers each. The one left over is thrown frozen into the sitting room to distract Widget while I head out to evening engagements. Have you tried lettuce/mayo/sriracha on your sandwich? Hard recommend!

4 + 4 + 2, resulting in 2 1/2 sandwiches?
4 + 3 + 3, resulting in 3 sandwiches?
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2, resulting in 5 sandwiches?
You get the idea anyway.
Eat the lolly while you wait for the cheese to melt a bit in the sarnies.
5 finger one first, then clean up a bit with the mess caused by "slightly too many fish fingers for the bread".
Then eat the 4-finger sandwich like a refined gentleperson.
5 fingers in one sandwich seems a tad too much, however I am partial to the big chunky battered lads not the smaller breaded ones.

Symbolic.
