    Yeah well I hope it's not :lol:

    But you noticed well that it says one cat and not each cat so that might be it. But on the other hand he said Dave was close.. so yeah, what's teh fucking answer Chris? :lol:

    The answer is 10990, and no, it's not a trick question.


    7 children x 2 legs = 14 legs.

    7 children x 7 backpacks = 49 backpacks

    49 backpacks with 7 cats in = 343 big cats

    343 cats x 4 legs = 1372 legs.

    343 big cats with 7 little cats = 2401 little cats

    2401 cats x 4 legs = 9604 legs.


    9604 + 1372 + 14 = 10990 legs.


    Chris was just being mean.

    I messed up my calculations.

    But on the same note, he said only one of the big cats has a little cat.

    I think that was just Chris translating from Dutch because I got that e-mailed to me a week ago in Dutch. :p

    I'm not even going to bother... xD

    7 children x 7 backpacks = 49 backpacks

    49 backpacks x 7 big cats = 343 big cats

    343 big cats x 4 legs = 1372 legs

    7 little cats x 4 legs = 28 legs

    14 + 1372 + 28 = 1414

    It might as well be 1414 depending on whether each cat has 7 kittens or just one, it's a bit ambiguous.

    Yeah :lol:

    Or this could be a trick question and A) you cant allow cats in the bus or B) there's no way you can fit 49 cats in one bag or C) the busdriver has 2 legs, so its 10992
