Guest Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 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. The bus driver is not on the bus. Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

0 bushindo Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) 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. The bus driver is not on the bus. Question: How many legs are there in the bus? Number of legs = 7 * 2 + 7*7*7*4 + 7*7*7*7*4 = 10990 legs I guess is that the bus driver is a smart man and got off the bus earlier. There's no way any sane man would want to be cramped into a bus with 2700 cats. Edited May 15, 2009 by bushindo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Assuming this isn't a trick as you say... (7 * 2) + (7^3 * 4) + (7^4 * 4) = 10990 This is one crazy riddle . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
