Experimental results are reported for the numerical quantities of the different shapes of human nose where, to the best of the author's knowledge, this approach has never been applied. The results are based on 1793 pictures of noses, of which 403 are artworks, 498 are photographs taken by the author in Europe-Holland, Belgium, and France-while visiting these places, 801 were photographed in Israel, and 91 are not clear where exactly photographed. One thousand eighty-one were photographs of men, and 712 were of women. The author has succeeded to classify all the noses into 14 groups, where for each nose shape it was possible to find also an artistic demonstration. Near each shape the percentage of the total number of noses of a certain nose shape is reported. The detailed results for the number of noses versus their shape and sources: artworks and photographing places-Europe and Israel-are reported. The most widespread nose, 24.2%, is shape 1, the fleshy nose, where the least widespread nose, 0.45%, is shape 4. It should be emphasized also that shape 14, 0.05%, photographed in Israel is extremely unique and the only one existing among the 1793 noses that were considered.
本文报告了不同形状人类鼻子的数值实验结果，据作者所知，该方法从未被应用过。结果基于1793张鼻子图片，其中403张是艺术作品，498张是作者在访问欧洲的荷兰、比利时和法国时拍摄的照片，801张是在以色列拍摄的，91张不清楚具体拍摄地点。1081张是男性鼻子照片，712张是女性鼻子照片。作者成功地将所有鼻子分为14组，每种鼻形都能找到艺术展示。每种鼻形旁边都报告了该鼻形在鼻子总数中所占的百分比。报告了鼻子数量与其形状以及来源（艺术作品和拍摄地点——欧洲和以色列）的详细结果。分布最广的鼻子形状是1号，肉质鼻，占24.2%，分布最不广的鼻子形状是4号，占0.45%。还应强调的是，在以色列拍摄的14号鼻子，占0.05%，极其独特，是1793个被研究鼻子中唯一存在的。
