How many legs on the bus?

[gcol]

This is not a trick question, so don't say that a bus has no legs and don't include a bus driver! Read the problem carefully.

There are 7 girls in 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 on the bus?

OK, theres 7 girls

49 bags.

56 cats in each bag (7 large + 49 small).

56 * 49 = 2744 cats * 4 = 10976 feline legs.

14 female legs = 10990 legs.

But wheres the bus going if theres no driver? And have you tried to get ONE cat in a bag???

That's right Steve.
I got this is an e-mail yesterday and you needed the answer to open an excel spreadsheet (it was passworded). You could then add your name and forward it on.

I was working away around that time so that's my excuse for missing it. Looking at that thread though, Softus never actually commented on who was correct. 10990 is the answer though.

Seek not to be told what is right, grasshopper; gain strength from feeling it.
