This is had me thinking for about 15 minutes
but I finally got it so I wanted to see how many of you guys could get it
post your guesses
but if you've seen this before please do not Post the answer and ruin it for everyone! >_<

The question:


There are 7 girls on a bus

Each girl has 7 Backpacks

In each backpack, there are 7 Big Cats

For every Big Cat there are 7 Little Cats

How many legs are on the bus?
-----------------------------------------------
and for all those people who think too hard
The backpacks DO NOT have legs
and no vud driver is mentioned therfore
WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE BUS DRIVER


I'll post the answer in about 10-15 responses
or tomorrow
which ever comes first



ANSWER:7 girls x 2 (legs) = 14 legs

each girl has 7 bags so... 7 girls x 7 bags = 49

each bag has 7 big cats so... 49 bags x 7 big cats = 343 big cats

343 big cats x 4 (legs) = 1372 legs

each big cat has 7 small cats so... 343 big cats x 7 small cats = 2401 small cats

2401 small cats x 4 (legs) = 9604 legs

sooo... 14 legs (girls) + 1372 legs (big cat) + 9604 legs (small cat) = 10990 legs

The question is very straight forward there is no trick!!!!

[joolee.]

I know this is probably a stupid answer... fourteen legs?

[tengteng]

14+196+196=406legs???

[lime_shadow]

Awww. It's so sad I've had questions like this before.

I hope I'm wrong: ithinktheansweris0justtakingmorespacesopplwontseeonlyonecharxD

[FDTxtianshix]

14 + 196 + 1372 = 1582

XD

[(^__^)v]

i say.... 238 legs?

14 + 28 + 28(7) = 238

2 legs for each girls, 4 x 7 for the big cats so that equal 28.. then 1 of the big cat has seven kids so thats another 28 so multiple it by 7 for the seven little cats.

i wonder if its a trick question or something lol


i just realize that i did it wrong ahaha yeah i got 10990 legs

^ ditto...

[stellamaris]

Lol, this is basically simple algebra with maybe a little bit of logic compounded into it. I won't post my answer since I'm fairly sure it's correct. Sorry if I sound arrogant ^^; I've taken a lot of advanced math so this is almost nothing to me

[MsChen]

roar. itsss more mathhh ! ;x

[bonbons]

lol i got like...10990 legs XD but that's a bit much?

[babi_gurl]

hmmtook me a whileee
but i agreee there is fourteen legs=)

[stellamaris]

lol i got like...10990 legs XD but that's a bit much?

It's what I got. It's not too much at all.

[iheartBIGBANG]

...1386? am i doing somthing wrong? xp

okay! i feel stupid. i just didnt feel like doing all the math and rechecking like my usual nerdy self. =D

[ecstasy]

..it seems like a logic question.
0 legs?

[stellamaris]

..it seems like a logic question.
0 legs?

Assuming all members of the bus had their legs amputated? Haha yeah

[EYJAYJAY]

im going to say 14 legs. the cats are in the bags.. so their legs are not touching the bus and therefore, not "on" the bus. i doubt it's really a math question.. but anyways, back to studying

[sarahsoar__us]

i bet its a trick question haha
lols

[Jinnyjin]

yea me too...also kuz im too lazy to calculate it like the others

But these questions are sometimes really simple and people just overthink it....

[zkunninglookz]

if it was a real math question..i think the answer is

7girls x 2 legs each=14 legs
7backpacks x 7 big cats x 4 legs for each big cat= 196
7backpacks x 7 big cats x 7 little cats each x 4 legs = 1372

total=14+1372+196=[b]1582[/b]

read the question wrong
7girls x 2 legs each=14 legs
7 girls x 7backpacks x 7 big cats x 4 legs for each big cat= 1372
7 girls x 7backpacks x 7 big cats x 7 little cats each x 4 legs = 9604

answer is 10990


..omg..i'm so sad..i can't even do math..i don't even know if my answer is right..and im a college student..
how'd u guys get 10990?

my second choice would be 14 legs ON the bus.cuz the lions r in the backpacks
..there's probably 10-15 responses already..please post the answr!!..i don't think i'll be able to sleep until i see the correct answer.

My final answer would be the 7 girls and the small cat's legs...the story never mentioned the little cats were in the bookbag
14 + 9604= 9618 legs

SCREW IT!!..i say there's 10989 legs cuz one of the little cat's legs got bitten off by an angry PMS-ing chinese girl on the bus!!

[tony]

i also got 10990, but that seems too.. straightforward. I'm going to think about it some more.

Okay, now that I think about it, its fourteen. That is, assuming the little cats are also in the backpacks.
