1. I had a professor who tried to teach us to write the digit 1 with the serif extended to the baseline, like a very narrow upper case lambda. Ostensibly this was easier to write and gave the digit 1 more body than a single stroke. Has anyone ever heard of this technique of writing the digit 1?

It's common in France, I think.
Gareth, I confirm that in France we write our 1 as you says, upper left serif extended near to the baseline (but not completely extended until the baseline). And to avoid the confusion with the 7, we cross the 7 with a dash added in its middle. Christian.
