Arithmetic Question?

[buddy]

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.


Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

 

[dawgball]

210 legs

 

[vanbasten]

assuming each of the girls has 2 legs, and all of the cats have 4 legs...

10,990 total legs:shrug:

7 girls X 2 = 14 legs
343 big cats X 4 = 1372 legs
2401 little cats X 4 = 9604 legs

They bring young man into operating room and Dr refuses to work on him saying he is related to him.

when asked how he was related he said--
"brothers and sisters I have none-but this man's father is my father's son.

What relation was the boy to him?

St Ives variation--

As I was going to St Ives
I met a man with 7 wives
Every wife had 7 sacks
Every sack had 7 cats
Every Cat had 7 kittens
Kittens-cats-sacks and wives
How many were going to St ives.

Nobody said anything about a bus driver being there...maybe hes out of the bus on a "smoke break"..:shrug:

 

[smurphy]

Do the chairs on the bus have legs?

This question is fatally flawed by nature.

his son?

 

[zig]

I agree with 10,990 :Yep:
and it's his son

 

[yyz]

That was never offered as an answer. :SIB

 

[TON]

zero. buss' don't have legs.

It ask's how many legs are in the bus, not on the bus.


Legs to me are plural, so 5,496 legs = 10,992 leg

Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

0

It says the girls are "on" the bus and the question asks how many legs are "in" the bus, so I say 0...

 

[yyz]

Girls= 7.......14 legs
Back packs= 49
Big cats= 49x7x4 legs =1,372 legs
Little cats= 49x7x7x4 legs = 9,604 legs

Add 'em all up.............


10,990 legs
