peter991 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I can't remember whether this one has been posted before, but here goes: There are 7 girls in a bus Each girl has 7 backpacks In each backpack, there are 7 cats For every cat there are 7 kittens Question: How many legs are there in the bus? Hint: There is nobody else on the bus. All the girls and all the cats and kittens have the normal number of legs. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegha Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 A bus doesn't have legs, it has wheels! The correct answer is just too obvious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter991 Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Come on Suegha: Do you know the correct answer? Took me 5 minutes to get it right. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) 10,990 possibly 10,992 if you include the bus driver. It would be zero if the phrase was "How many legs are there on the bus?" Edited March 8, 2008 by Crossy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keemao Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 1,582???? + 2 if counting driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter991 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Congratulations Crossy. Hint: There is nobody else on the bus. All the girls and all the cats and kittens have the normal number of legs. Let's work through this There's 7 girls. Each girl has 7 backpacks. Total backpacks = 49. Each backpack has 7 cats. Multiply 49 x 7 = 343 cats. Each cat has 7 kittens. Multiply 343 x 7 = 2401 kittens. Total of cats and kittens is 343 + 2401 = 2744 animals. Each of the animals has 4 legs. 2744 x 4 = 10,976 Each of the 7 girls has 2 legs. 7 x 2 = 14 Total is 10,976 + 14 = 10,990. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegha Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Well, I think that's obvious - but I have always been good at this type of maths! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
