There is a bus.
On the bus there are seven girls.
Each girl has seven backpacks.
In each backpack there are seven BIG cats.
For each BIG cat there are seven little cats.
There is no driver on the bus.
How many legs total are on the bus?
This is not a trick question. The answer is NOT "a bus don't have legs"!! There is an actual numeric answer that is relatively easy to figure out...at least for a fifth grader! No hints, no tricks - just simple math. I will tell you that these are normal girls and normal cats. Two and four legs each, respectively.
I will give you a while on this and check in periodically to see who answers right. If you're like me, it will drive you crazy for a while. But, the average fifth grader can do it in less than ten minutes!! If you think you got it, post it! I will provide the right answer before this thread goes dead.
