I got this at work today...thought I would share.

KSB


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?

 

[Zorro]

126 maybe I dont no

 

[Aquaman_95]

There are 1,089 legs on the buss.

11 Legs for the girls

539 Legs for the big cats

539 Legs for the little cats

 

[Sturgeon]

my best guess is 9646 legs... but only the girls legs count IMO

 

[AROWANABE]

2758 LEGS

 

[Zorro]

[Mystus Redtail]

I got 1386 but 1388 if you count the busdriver.

If you counted him you would have 1,091 legs on the bus.

11 legs for the girls? lol that doesnt work!
each girl has 7 backpacks... so 7 girls with 7 backpacks each is 49back packs.
7 big cats in each backpack, with 7 lil cats for each big cat is 49.
multiply 49x49 and we get 2041 cats. cats have 4 legs, so multiply 2041x4 and we get 9604 legs. now the girls hopefully have 2 legs each, so add 14 to 9604 and you get 9618 legs...
I give up! only the girls legs count!
