WIN SOME SOAP!

posted in Life in General |

Post your answer.  I’ll enter the correct entries in a random number generator and send out soap to 3 lucky people!  :o)

ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER?

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?

    There are no “legs” in “the bus”. (This is my “must be a trick question” answer).

    However if you want to stick with logic, the answer is 14. Seven girls, two legs each. Nobody SAID specifically that the backpacks containing cats are actually IN the girls’ possession or ON the bus with them. The cats, therefore, are irrelevant.

    Or, if this is a straight math question, the answer is 210. 7 girls with 2 legs (14 legs) each plus 49 cats with 4 legs each (196 legs):

    {(7 x 2) + [4 x (7 x 7)]} = 210

    I really over-thought this, didn’t I?

    After heavy consideration and great anticipation of the soap :razz: I decided to change my answer to 10990 becuz there was no mention of a driver. AND THAT IS MY FINAL ANSWER. Plus I had help from a 6th grader :wink:
