Are you smarter then a 5th Grader?

[Mottern Man]

It's a 5th grade math problem. This is not a trick question. This is a real math problem so don't say that a bus has no legs. There is no bus driver.

There are 7 girls in a bus.
Each girl has 7 backpacks.
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats.
For every big cat there are 7 little cats.

Question: How many legs are there in the bus?















I will tell you the Answer tomorrow, this problem took me 15 min to figure out so that makes me almost as smart as a 5th grader. :happy102

My grammer is not as good as my math. :happy102

[mastermute]

Also, it's "than"

Any 5th grader would know that! :rolleyes:

Tune in tomorrow (today in the EDT and CDT zones in US) for the exciting conclusion!!!! Don't miss it!! ;)

Y'all did remember to account for two legs for the girls and four legs for the cats, right? Just checking... :happy097

[Mottern Man]

The answer is 10990.

The point was some people as they grow older they seem to over think simple problems.

Ya'll done good, now I am going to hang my head in shame. :happy102

It also seems as you age you seem to miss reading the directions. :D

[Exeter]

I'm going to say that no fifth grader I know except maybe one from the Chinese family I know would know the answer to that.

I had an oral quiz in number theory that was supposed to consist of only one question. The question I got was:

"Can you prove the <IForgetWhatItWas> Theorem?"

I thought for a moment, smilled, and said "Yes!" After a few seconds of staring at each other, the professor rolled his eyes and said "Ok, Griffin, prove it." Fortunately, I really could. :D

is it sad that I used a calculator? :o
