There are 7 girls on a bus, and each girl has 7 backpacks. In those backpacks are 7 cats. With every cat there is, there are 7 little kittens. The question is...how many legs can you count that are on riding on that bus?

['Abd al-Baari]

:sl:

I got 238.
7 x 2 = 14 [Girls]
7 x 4 = 28 [Cats]
28 x 7 = 196 [Kittens]

Hope it's right :p Insha'Allah

:w:

[Güven]

7x 2 = 14 (Girls)
4x 7 = 28 (Cats)

No, you forgot the busdriver's legs and the fact that every girl has 7 backpacks, and that for every cat in that backpack there are 7 kittens.. I'm pretty sure the answer is 10992.

edit: it doesn't say anything of a busdriver.. so if there isn't any, then it is 10990!

[Pen Marks]

the cats n kittens are in the back backpacks so they shouldnt get counted init

no dey are counted, dey r riding on the bus! lol :D

[Güven]

1 girl= 2legs
7 bakcpacks
1 backpack:
7 cats = 28 legs
49 ktten = 196 legs

so
252 = 1 backpack
so 7 x 252 = 1764 Is 1 girl

so we do 7 x 1764 = 12348 + if busdriver(2)= 12350

It gotta be right now

Ooops. I must have misread that! :-[

So the answer is 10992?..That's a lot of legs. :thumbs_up though, Masha'Allah!

umm

7x2=14 ( the girls)
7x7=49=number of cats = 49x4 legs= 196

49 cats with 7 kittens each = 49 x7 = 343 (kittens)

so
14 +196 + 343= 553

553 legs?

that right? :?

Aleykum selam,

It's 10990 if there isn't any busdriver. Just saw it didn't state anything.. But I assumed there was one. :-[

Yeah, subhanAllah.. Just made me realize it may seem as much less! I hope I calculated it right, I'm doing it again for the third time just to check..

Unbelivable, I'm doing Maths on my free time. Where's the world going to? lol

[Güven]

But Nobody got the answer how can we know wich one is right :D

[Afifa]

umm

7x2=14 ( the girls)
7x7=49=number of cats = 49x4 legs= 196

49 cats with 7 kittens each = 49 x7 = 343 (kittens)

so
14 +196 + 343= 553

553 legs?

that right? :?

oh wait actually i missed a step out :P lol :exhausted

343 kittens with 4 legs each = 1372
14+196+1372=1582

so is it not 1582 legs...and if there is a bus driver then `1590 legs?

:?....got a hedache now hehe lol

[Al-Zaara]

why wos driving Than ;D but 10990!!! HOW??

1 girl has 7 backpacks, in which 7 cats are and for every cat there are 7 kittens. That's the whole secret to actually get it.

Backpack 1 has 7 cats. Cat 1 has 7 kittens. That makes 8 animals (1 cat + 7 kittens). 7 cats X 8 = 56. 56 cats per bag X 7 bags= 392.
392 = is number of animals with every girl. Now that 392 X 7 girls = 2744.
Every animal has 4 legs, so now you take 2744 X 4 = 10976. 7 girls have 2 legs each, it makes 14 girl-legs. 10976 + 14 = 10990.

Am right or wrong? I'll soon fall asleep and don't want this bothering me until the morning! The answer is... ?

[Pen Marks]

i got this

Given:
7 girls = Every girl = 2 legs
7*2 = 14
********
7 Backpacks = Every backpack = 7 cats
7*7 = 49 cats
49 cats = Every cat = 4 legs
49*4 = 196
*******
196 Cats = Ever cat = 7 Kittens
196*7 = 1372 Kittens
1372 Kittens = Every Kitten = 4 legs
1372*4 = 5488
*******
1 Bus Driver = 2 legs
1*2 = 2
*******
Add everything up
14+196+5488+2= 5,700 Legs

i think im getting the biggest headache in the world now.

There are 7 girls on a bus, and each girl has 7 backpacks. In those backpacks are 7 cats. With every cat there is, there are 7 little kittens. The question is...how many legs can you count that are on riding on that bus?

i'll try again inshallah :blind:

[Pen Marks]

In those backpacks are 7 cats.

meaning every bag has 7 cats

[Güven]

1n One BAG IS 7 CATS WICH MAKES 1 cat with 7 kittens ( so 7 x 4legs =28 legs of the kittens plus 4legs of the cat) so 32 One cat with 7 kittens

32 x 7 cats = 224 legs in one backpack
you have 7 backpacks soo 7x 224 = 1568 + legs of ONE girl (2)= 1570

there is 7 girls so 1570 x 7 =10990 Yep You were right sis Al-Zaara mashallah :D

excluding busdriver :D

BTW if I always Think Like This I would be The smartest Boy in my Town LOL but im not

[Pen Marks]

lool i'm gona look for another math riddle this time with an answer inshallah :D

[piXie]

meaning every bag has 7 cats

should be clearer :hmm:

like:

There are 7 girls on a bus, and each girl has 7 backpacks.

[Al-Zaara]

Yep You were right sis Al-Zaara mashallah :D

MashaAllah if I may say so myself! :ooh:

I'm honestly not good at Maths in general, but seems some braincells must have been alive yesterday night.. Maybe I should do my Maths exams at night! Haha.. ;D

[Lonely Gal]

it is 10990.. i got this is an email couple months ago.. a good challenge...

[------]

:salamext:

After reading through this thread I got such a big headache that I'm not even going to try answering :-\

[Souljette]

MASHALLAH SIS AL-ZAARA ..nicee nd good job Bro Guven

[SouLda_Gal]

at 1st i thought its not dat hard.. buh wen i tried sortin it i was lyk woaw.. cant b askd wid it looool n i left it half way lol.. buh nyc 1 sis
peace

[Woodrow]

The question is "How many legs can I count?" I can't even see the blasted bus never mind the legs on the cats in the back packs, so my answer is zero. I can't count what I can't see.

[snakelegs]

quick! call a taxi! :D

LOOL That was A Nice Ryhme :D

btw Isnt the Answer 10990 ??????

[SixTen]

I did a bit of maths so hopefully I get this correct.

7 Girls = 14 legs.

Their exists 7x7 (49) backpacks, each with 7 cats. 7x49 = 343 cats total, so that equates to 1372 legs.

For every cat, theirs 7 kittens, so 343 x 7 = 2401 kittens. Equating to 9604 legs.

Total legs = 10990.

Including drivers legs, would be 10992.
With ach

[wildkat]

The riddle I know like this is slightly different,
it goes..
on my way to st Ives, I met a man with seven wives, each wife had seven sacks and in each sack there were seven cats and each cat had seven kittens. how many were oing to st Ives?
really easy peasy this one, if you think about it lol

[DaNgErOuS MiNdS]

^Thats so easy peasy I dont even want to answer it...

[MunirAhmadKamil]

hehehehehe thanks for the headache. Why would a schoolgirl carry 7 backpacks to start off with?

[SouLda_Gal]

loooooooolozzzzzzz.... omgggggg we all on roolla coasta yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee dipeeeeeeeeeeeeee looooooooooolzzz.... diz riddle is mad doe lol

> Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

[qassy!]

10,990 legs

[Amat Allah]

right...^^

['Abd-al Latif]

10,990 legs

Ahh jazakAllah khair I've been trying to figure that out for ages.

My maths has gone pretty poor since I left school...

[Re.TiReD]

Lo0o0oL maths :skeleton:

[Riyadh-ul-Jannah]

:sl:
Is it 60
Including the busdriver that makes 62, but is their a busdriver, and there could be more people on the bus, but just the 7 Girls and their 7 cats and their 7 kittens, i think 60.
InshaAllah I've got it right. :)

[Amat Allah]

10,992 legs Including the busdriver legs...

[Woodrow]

The way I see it there are:

7 girls for 14 legs
49 Mother cats for 196 legs
343 kittens for 1372 legs

Giving a total of 1582 legs

if you include the busdriver 1584 legs

ADDENDUM: and there dear friends is a practical example of why nobody ever hired me as a mathematican or accountant and explains why I can't balance my check book.

[Uthman]

Here is the answer:

A LOT!

[Amat Allah]

look

7 girls = 7×2= 14 legs

7 girls eachone has 7 bags means 7×7=49 bags and each bag has 7 cats means

49×7= 343 big cats , cats has 4 legs so ,343 big cats×4 legs = 1372 big cats legs

each big cat has 7 small cats means, 343 big cats ×7 small cats = 2401 small cats

small cats has 4 legs means, 2401 small cats × 4 legs= 9604 small cats legs

the bus driver has 2 legs

now we add ;girls legs+big cats legs+small cats legs+the bus driver legs

14+1372+9604+2= 10992 legs in the bus
