There's a bus with 7 girls. Each girl carries 7 bags. Each bag carries 7 big cats. Each big cat carries 7 smaller cats(All the cats have 4 legs).

Question: how many legs are on the bus? - don't include the bus driver! This is not a trick question i.e. the bus only has wheels. You need to work out how many legs there actually are.


Good Luck :D
 
girls = 14
big cats = 49
small cats = 196

total 259
 
ok...

7 kids
7 x 7 = 49 bags
49 x 7 = 343 big cats
343 x 7 = 2401 little cats

(7 x 2) + (2744 x 4) = 10,900 legs

better not be a trick question or i'll feel even sillier for getting my calculator. :cool:
 
Not exactly a riddle is it Kris. :P More of a math question.
