Re: cutting hands at different times
If you watch them ripen on the "tree" you will soon discover that the first banana to ripen is somewhere in the middle, making it difficult to extract and sample. Other than that Murphy's Law issue, they generally ripen in the order that they flowered.
The goal of picking green is to get them early enough that ripening order isn't really an issue.
You will also find that when they have been mature for a while (over winter) and you get your first heat wave, they all ripen almost at once, so order again becomes almost irrelevant. They are all just waiting for an excuse to ripen.
