Are YOU Smarter Than a 5th Grader??
« on: February 01, 2008 - 09:10:05 PM »
Try this littlebrain teaser out:


There are 7 little girls on the bus.

Each little girl is carrying 7 backpacks

Inside each backpack is 7 big cats

For each big cat, there are 7 little cats



Question:   How many legs are on the bus??      :clueless:   

Good Luck.....    :cheers:

My brain hurts after this....

I think I have an answer, but this is assuming there are no other people/cats on the bus, including the bus driver/adult chaperone for the little girls...


1386 legs?  :clueless:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

14 cats in each bag times four legs apiece, = 56 legs in each pack
7 backpacks = 56x7 = 392
7 girls times two legs apiece = 14

14+392=406

Whats wrong, unless this is a trick question?
