Legs

[vday]

There is a bus with 7 Children
Each child has 7 backpacks
In each backpack are 7 big cats
Each big cat has 7 kittens
Each cat has 4 legs
How many legs are in the bus?

[squarebear]

14 on the children
7 x 7 x 7 x 4 = 1372 on the big cats
and 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 4 = 9604 on the kittens.

Making a total of 10,990 legs altogether, assuming it's not a trick question.

[B00]

Are we supposed to add an extra 2 legs that belong to the driver?

[squarebear]

No driver was mentioned in the question. In that case you could assume that there were another 20 people on the bus and an octopus.

[B00]

An octopus?

Now you're being daft........


If you'd have said an aardvark fair enough, but an octopus?

[Postdog]

and what is wrong with octopuses?!!

[squarebear]

They must be large backpacks to have 7 big cats and 49 kittens in.

disregarding any other passengers, and assuming there is a driver, i think there would be TWO legs, as surely the cats and kittens would have a bit on the noisey side and the driver would have made them get off the bus, stating that what the children were doing would come under animal cruelty, anyhow if i am wrong ( favourite outcome) the children may have had a kitten or two in thier back pockets (ouch) mmm...just thought - what about the legs on the seating ? oh yes, and have all the children got two legs, some may only have one, and kelly from the isle of man may be on board. (i'm off - gettng fed up now ) must dash - my bus is due !

[phizzy]

i'm back - missed my bus, y'know squarebear could be right, and each tentacle could be carrying seven backpacks with seve big cats and each big cat could be .......................................(god i bet you all wished i'd caught my bus (chuckle)

[football21]

Either none; all the cats & all the children are amputees. Or only the driver has two legs, as occupational requirement.

[Azalian]

No legs on a bus, only tyres!

[squarebear]

Good one but it said how many legs are IN the bus.

[phizzy]

here again (wish someone would sort this one out) anyhow another suggestion - only 2 legs in the bus - all the passengers and large and small cats stuck legs through windows - strewth imagine the smell - yyyyyyukkkkk

[phizzy]

i wish the cats were the ones fouling my back lawn - i'd pay all the kids fares !

[dustypuss]

i,v been away for three week got stuck on a bus full of cats kitens kids 1 octopy one driver and a conductor . I was stuck on the top deak with three wise men three sheperds and a flock of sheep . I couldent get off the bus and all your worred about is how meany legs on the bus . you should be more worred about how many toilets on the bus !

[krj4147]

squarebear is correct, it is 10,990

[sieni]

i would say no legs in the bus, because it doesn't mention anything about any girls/cats in the bus.
