There is one bus with 7 children, every children has 7 bags, in each bag there are 7 big cats each big cat has 7 small cats, each cat has 4 legs.
How many legs are in total in the bus???????
Please Help me the exact number will open a spreadsheet and i have no idea iv tied
Okay, let me have a go:
The bus contains 7 kids =14 legs
each kid has 7 bags = 49 bags
each bag contains 56 cats (big and small)
sooo, 56 x 4 legs = 224
multiply by bags = 10976
plus kids legs = 14
-------
10990*
But! if the bus has a driver and you include his/her legs 10992
Bet it's wrong, but I tried (without a calculator)

Ok thank you very much ur awsome it was right 10990 i really couldnt get my head round it i would kiss u if i could thanks
You're very welcome!
Was afraid it would be wrong...
Maths isn't my strong point, took a whole sheet of A4 to work it out. But it exercised my brain for a while - so, thank YOU...

Why do you get 56 cats, when there are 7 big cats each big cat has 7 small cats? 7x7 =49

Because each bag contains 7 big cats, each of whom has 7 small ones.
56 is the number of cats, big and small, contained in each bag.
Someone call the SPCA!
its a trick
trick question....theres 16 if you include the bus driver 14 if its just children
its a variation of the burbank riddle....a man is going to burbank he has 7 wives with 7 sacks in every sack is 7 cats each cat has 7 kittens how many are going to burbank....answer 1 the man
@aiz5199,
Cripes aiz, you must be bored.
@smorgs,
560 its simple and im only 10
@smorgs,
but does the bags have legs ?
@bravodelta,
CHILDREN R OUTSIDE OR INSIDE
Who said any of the children have legs? Maybe there is a ninja on the bus who decided to immobilise them?
Maybe the ninja will be the one to call the SPCA, and maybe he is quite justified in de-legging the children as the children are clearly out of line with seven bags of frenzied overstuffed cat madness each. Who puts 56 cats in a bag? Let alone putting 392 cats into seven bags!!!
