If you can't stand word math problems, just delete now. If you can open
the spreadsheet, you'll see it's a very small list of people who have
gotten the correct number. This is not a trick question. This is a
real math problem so don't say that a bus has no legs.

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?

TALO · 01-24-2008, 08:07 PM

How many seats are in the bus ? Each seat would have 4 legs.

IronKitten · 01-24-2008, 08:08 PM

10,990

Holy crap, I think I blew up a couple brain cells. And I'm probably way off

7...Because the cats legs don't count and all the girls are amputees

(or 7*7*7*7*4+7*2=9618)

Wow that was quick.....This has to be the smartest board by far

ENORRIS · 01-24-2008, 08:59 PM

I'm going to agree with IK... 10,990 legs

Each girl has .....56 cats per backpack x 7 back packs = 392 cats
392 cats x 4 legs = 1576 cat legs

7 girls x 1576 cat legs = 10,976

10,976 cat legs + 14 girl legs = 10,990 legs

7(4(7(7*7+7))+14 = 10,990

Anywhere near right?? Very curious?!?!?

ENORRIS · 01-24-2008, 09:04 PM

	TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
