(el largo de los shorts) deberá coincidir con el extremo/la punta del dedo medio ...
Me parece que generalmente se encluye al pulgar cuando de fingers se trata (no en español, por supuesto). Puede que esté equivocada, claro está.
Noun 1. fingerfinger - any of the terminal members of the hand (sometimes excepting the thumb); "her fingers were long and thin"
hand, manus, mitt, paw - the (prehensile) extremity of the superior limb; "he had the hands of a surgeon"; "he extended his mitt"
middle finger - the second finger; between the index finger and the ring finger

Puesto que la pregunta corresponde, al parecer, al mismo texto del que ayer se presentó otra en la que se mencionaba "middle finger", parece que en este caso sí se incluye al pulgar en la cuenta y Patricia tiene la razón.
