Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?
I sure didn't get this one right...........
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?

14 girl legs
9604 lil cat legs
1372 big cat legs
2 bus driver legs (optional)
This really depends on whether one of the girl's is driving the bus...I'm gonna say 10992, and that's only because I know of no adults that would carry a litter of cats in their backpacks all day long (assuming they are all children, and children cannot drive, therefore there would be one adult driver). However if this is some sort of cat smuggling operation and/or cult, then one of the girls could possibly be a driver, which would make it 10990...

So we are assuming that all of the girls had two legs? This is anti-handicapt and highly offensive to me.

In your line of work you may use numbers on a regular basis and you just got out of school if you are finished. Most of us so not need to solve simple problems like this on a regular basis and after you go 10-15-20 years....... then you will understand.

The question is flawed.
The seats they are sitting on each have legs. How many girls per seat?
PFR is also a virgin.

Shit no.
I can't barely use a cell phone and these damn 5th graders can fix my frozen up computer and know how to download all the good stuff on the internet for free.
I am bigger than most of them though so I can use their wiles for my profit in the grand tradition of capitalism.

7 girls. 7 back packs each girl. 49 back packs.
49 back packs x 7 big cats = 343 big cats.
343 big cats x 4 legs each = 1,372
343 big cats x 7 little cats = 2,401 little cats.
2,401 little cats x 4 legs each = 9,604
9,604 + 1,372 = 10,976 + 14 (7 girls x 2 legs each = 14) = 10,990
