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?

Hmmm, quick guess 11186 legs


Unless the the question was how many legs on the bus then the answer is zero.

238 ?

no driver ?  ;D

correcting :for 7 backpacks 10990  :-/

Hi Cem
It has got to be higher than that, as it says each girl has 7 backbacks, making 49 backpacks in total.

;D

those cats will not stay normal ;D

Are the cat containing backpacks necessarily on (or in) the bus?

its time for me to go back home.. :y

I'm just going to say 1, because thats what it was in Die Hard 3

Actually there are only 14 legs in the bus, nobody said the cats are in the bus :y

not a trick question, genuine maths

Do the bus shockers count as legs? ::)

9814.

Here is the Spanish judges answer

2758 legs

Some interesting answers there....

the correct answer is on there!  :y

I know for a fact that it's 10990 - received something about this by email sometime back with an excel file which needs the figure mentioned above for opening it  :D

aye, thats the one 10990  :y

10990  :y

((7 x Little cats) + (1 x Big cat)) = Number of legs per Big cat = 32
((7 x Big cats) + (1 x Rucksack)) = Number of legs per Rucksack = 224
((7 x Rucksacks) + 1 x Girl)) = Number of legs per Girl = 1570

7 Girls on the bus = 10990

Am I right?


EDIT: D'oh! Jim beat me to it!  ;D

You might well be platty but I'm rather transfixed by your avatar at the moment 8-) 8-) - does that make me a bad person? ;D
