Are you smarter than a 5th grader?
I'm not. I needed help to figure this out. See what you come up with.

I think I fixed the comments so you can leave your answer as a comment and I'll post the winner next week.

Problem: There are 7 girls on 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?

Thomas and Juli's answer:

10,990
(unless there is a bus driver, then 10,992)

Do we win a prize if we get it right? :)

Is the answer 14? The reason behind this is that the cats legs are in the backpacks and the girls legs are in the bus.

I came up with the same answer as Thomas and Juli:
10,990 w/o a driver, and even though it doesn't state if the bus is moving or not the implication is the would be a driver so 10,992.

(If there is a prize, I think I should share it w/ Thomas and Juli even though their answer came in before mine!)
