Careless Whisper Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 oh, comon, no body knows how to do this? I guess nobody here thinks that they're smart enough to do this simple problem. Well, 5th graders, looks like no body is smarter than you...

VladAshram Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 14 because it never said the girls brought anything on the busbtw what random 5th grader could answer that? I tried asking that to my friends daughter and she kicked me in a place that many would rather I not mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryFreelance Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 7 girls = 14 feet. 7 cats = 28 feet. 28 + 14 = 42 7 cats = 28 feet. 42 + 28 = 70 feet. Bus Driver = 2 feet. So 72 feet. Yes, I am smarter than a fifth grader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfmvrocks Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 The only two to have the correct answer are Cybernetic Dragon and I. The others are NOT smarter than a Fifth Grader, XD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Altair Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 yes you guys all and i mean all of you have made an EPIC FAIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfmvrocks Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 We're the only two smarter than a fifth grader. XD. Sorry if this is SPAM. Anyways, you guys don't listen to every detail.And the bus driver wasn't included, thus the two extra legs are not counted.Each girl has 7 backpacks, meaning 1 Girl = 7 Backpacks.Each backpack has 7 big cats. 1 BP = 7 Big CatsEach Big Cat has 7 Small Cats. 1 BC = 7 SC Start thinking.

Bfmvrocks Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Why do you think 14 is the answer? "How many legs are there in the bus?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Raver Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Why do you think 14 is the answer? "How many legs are there in the bus?" Well theres the answer the question says 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? We know there are 7 girls on the bus, but it does NOT mention the backpacks are on the girls at that moment in time, it merely says they have them its exactly the same as, for example, i was sat on a bus, and said i have some yugioh cards, they do not have to be on me at the current time for the statement to be correct ^_^ Thus seeing as the backpacks are not mentioned on being on the girls while on the bus, the question comes down to this; There are 7 girls on a bus. Question: How many legs are there in the bus? And assuming they have had no legs chopped off, the answer is 14 ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfmvrocks Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 That would be arguable, but I've seen this problem before, and the answer has been given, and it's not 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Altair Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 because the legs dont have to be touching the bus just on the bus. Now if you were sitting on the bus but your legs aren't touching the floor of the bus will you say that your legs arent on the bus, damn DJ i will slap you silly lol.
