A Math Test

see what you come up with before I tell you the answer.

(in my email today)

Here's something to get your brains warmed up today. XXX got this math problem in an email last night. I refuse to believe that it is 5th grade math because XXX and I took 3 tries to get it right. If you're interested in the answer, let me know.

There are 7 girls in a bus.

Each girl has 7 backpacks.

In each backpack, there are 7 big cats. (Stuffed, I assume!)

For every big cat there are 7 little cats.

How many legs are there in the bus?

Don't come to a battle of wits completely unarmed.

There is an island of opportunity in the middle of every difficulty. Miss that, though, and you're pretty much doomed.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

I'm not even real sure there are backpacks big enough to carry that many cats in one confined space. I also think they need some air freshner for the bus and the allergies must be a bitch on that bus!
