Legs!

A bus has 7 girls.
Each girl has 7 bags.
Each bag has 7 big cats.
Each big cat has 7 little cats.
A cat has 4 legs.
How many legs are present in the bus?

Guoxiang sent me this problem a few days ago... I used to see it in my email quite awhile back, and after a few tries (my answer just keep getting bigger and bigger) i finally got it with a correct answer a very huge number. Heh.. Shall i reveal the answer?

Highlight the space below of u want to see the answer!

First let start with how many bags are there...
7 girls x 7 bags each = 49 bags total
Each bag got 7 big cats
49 bags x 7 big cats each = 343 big cats total
Each big cat have 7 small cats
343 big cats x 7 small cats each = 2401 small cats total
Total number of cats = 2401 + 343 = 2744 cats
Total number of cat legs = 2744 x 4 = 10976 legs
Total number of girl legs = 7 x 2 = 14 legs
Total number of legs = 10976 + 14 = 10990 legs
There are 10990 legs total
Many people tends to forget to add the total number of big cats to the small cats together as well as adding in the number of legs for the girls into the grand total.


Thats a huge number isn't it? whaha!

Current mood: =) Sis coming back tonight!
