  • This puzzle is doing my head in!!!!!!!

    Hi,

    Can anybody do this stupid puzzle??????

    This is not a trick question. This is a real math problem and no there is no driver in the bus.

    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.

    Question: How many legs are there in the bus?
    Just because its old, doesn't mean its worth a fortune!!

          I thought buses had wheels.

            Wow Moniquie that was fast!!!!

            I had managed to work it out before I read your post. (honest I really did)

            No of cats with 1 girl = 392
            No of cats with 7 girls = 2744
            Total number of legs 10976
            Add the 14 legs belonging to 7 girls = 10990.

            I shall be able to sleep tonight now.

            Thank you to all who responded.

              Your all wrong the answer is 14 legs belonging to 7 girls.

              Why?


              Because the 7 girls have just rescued a load of amputeed pussy's from the Balti distict in Brum.

                I fear the questioner needs to give us more information before we can answer the question... because seats have legs, too.
