why would 1 kid have 7 bags?
▼
Sweetooth 7 Apr 2008, 16:26
7 kids, 7 bags per kid = 49 bags
7 mothers per bag 7 kittens per mother = 7*8= 56 cats per bag
56(cats) * 49 (bags) = 2744 total cats
4 paws per cat so 2744*4=10976 total cat legs

7 children(plus a driver) so 8 *2= 16 more legs

so the total legs are 10992
and the total paws are 10976

i figured got 3 possibilities:

1. no child can carry 7 school bags!!!!!

2. 1582

3. 1584 (1582 + 2 because there is also a bus driver!!!!!!)

1 driver
7 children
7 x 7 = 49 bags
49 x 7 = 343 mother cats
343 x 7 = 2401 kittens

# of children legs = 14
# of mother cat legs = 1372
# of kitten legs = 9604

9604+1372+14 +2 = 10992

edit: just read that i'm right - SICK

get me another one i'm bored >D

A teacher of mathematics used an unconventional method to measure time for a test lasting 15 minutes. He used just a sand-glass, which spills in 7 minutes and a second sand-glass, which spills in 11 minutes. During the whole time he turned sand-glasses only 3 times. Explain how the teacher measured 15 minutes.

#1 = the 7 minute sand-glass
#2 = the 11 minute sand-glass

Start with both.
After 7 minutes #1 one is done and is turned around.
After 11 minutes #2 is done and you turn around #1 again.
When #1 is done again 15 minutes are over.

2 times second sandglass - first = (2x11) - 7 = 15

something more difficult please x_X
