Give it ago


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?





This is a real math problem, so don't say
that a bus has no legs.

I got it as:

7 x 2 (girls) = 14

343 * 4 (7*7*7 big cats) = 1372

2041 * 4 (big cats * 7) = 9604

= 10990

Isn't it meant to be "How many legs are on the bus?"

The answer being "none" because it's got wheels?

Yeah, but dont expect too much from someone who doesnt get vid links!

Also, it doesnt state if this was a spazzy bus for those kids who dont have any limbs - or more than two.

I did it a really weird way...

7 small cats = 28 legs

multiply by 7 for each big cat which has one - 196

add the legs for the 7 big cats + 28 = 224

* 7 bags = 1568

* 7 girls = 10976

+ 14 girls legs = 10990

It's a ridde if it's written properly. The question should be "How many legs on the bus?" to which the answer would be "None, they have wheels".
