    Here's a riddle...
    There is one bus with seven girls in it. Each girl has 7 backpacks and
    each backpack has seven big cats. Each big cat has seven little cats.
    How many legs are there all together?

    Well, mathematically, it would be 10,990.
    But it can't be that easy. What's the cat-ch?

    I see it as (7 girls X 7 packs X 7 Big Kitties X 7 Small Kitties X 4legs) Plus 14 human legs.

    oops, I missed 7x kitties...AND I read it wrong. I thought each girl had one pack. teach me to try to work and goof off simultaneously (how does GM do it!?).

    7 girls x 2 legs = 14 legs

    7 gilrs x 7 sacks x 7 big cats x 4 legs = 1372 cat legs

    7 kitties x 7 cats (legs already counted) x 7 sacks x 7 girls x 4 legs = 9604 kitty legs

    10990 legs.


    but the real anwser is 10992. heh heh

    Maybe the "all together" means something. Should we only count the girls who are keeping their legs together?

    I like GM's answer - I can't get around the simple math -10990 anyway I work it.

    I'm waiting for the trick, but I just can't see it here.
