Brain Teaser

The Puzzle:

There is a bus with 7 children inside of it
Each child has 7 rucksacks
In each rucksack there are 7 big cats
Every big cat has 7 small cats
Everything listed above is entirely in the bus
All objects are unique
There is no driver
Every child has 2 legs
Every cat has 4 legs

That said:
How many legs are in the bus?




I'll post the answer oh, sometime. Unless someone guesses it first.

None. the bus crashes and everything is thrown out.

Or, I need another cup of coffee before I can find the calculator and hit "7x7x7x7x7".

No guesses here. My head hurt by the time I got to the 4th line.

7 kids x 7 bags = 49 bags

49 bags x 7 big cats each = 343 big cats

343 big cats x 4 legs each = 1372 big cat legs


343 big cats x 7 kittens = 2401 kittens

2401 kittens x 4 legs = 9604 kitten legs


7 kids x 2 legs = 14 kids legs

1372 big cat legs + 9604 kitten legs + 14 kids legs = 10990 legs.

There is a driver too so there would be 10992 legs.

Me is so smart!

Anonymous,
Way off. Both times.

My Flock Rocks,

Try again.

10990 - no driver

Of course, I did it the easy way -

7 cats in each bag with 7 kittens each=56 animals

56 animals * 49 rucksacks = 2744 animals

2744 animals * 4 legs each =10976 plus 14 kid legs = 10990

Of course, in the time it took me to figure it out, presuming they are from Asia, there could be some cats missing =).

Lee got it.

There is no driver. Otherwise, Flock Rocker would have had it.
