I just got distracted by this that someone placed on my desk:
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
There is no bus driver.
How many legs are there on the bus?

10,990
Actually, there are no legs on the bus....a bus has four wheels.
Haven't you ever heard the song "The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round"?
10990--agreed!
Yea, I got it right.
It says that there are 7 girls IN a bus....not on....and there are wheels on a bus, not legs.
9:52 is right. The bus has no legs. It's a trick question/riddle.
Can you imagine the smell in the bus?

So boring.
The "none, it's a riddle" answers are idiots, why is a grown man (BG) going to do a riddle I would tell my 4 year old. The ones who say it is a riddle also think toothpaste is overrated!
A bus has six wheels people, not four.

Danny- It is a trick question. Just because you don't understand it, you don't need to resort to name calling. Why does BG do any of the stuff he does? Do you really think that he'd get on here and give all the viewers of this blog a word problem from math? Do you really think that someone dropped that on his desk intending him to calculate it?
Get off your high horse.
Bus has no legs. Similar riddle to "as I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives...."
A high horse has four legs.
Bubear has 2, short, stubby legs.
Double Fake Mr. Obvious
i thought a riddle had somethin
to do with nantucket
2 legs on 7 girls... 14
4 legs on 343 big cats... 1372
4 legs on 2401 little cats... 9604
10990 legs RIDING on the bus, sans driver.
Pot's right... let move on.
1 girl x 2 legs = 2
7 big cats x 4 legs x 7 back packs= 196
7 little cats x 4 legs x 7 big cats x 7 backpacks = 1372
(2 + 196 + 1372) x 7 girls = 10,990
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats alot of pussycats on the bus
WHO CARES??? DID YOU SEE THE LEGS ON THE PICK-ME UP!!!!
A little known fact:
Contemplation of this riddle inspired Ian Fleming to come up with the character name "Pussy Galore".
Double Fake James Bond
Well some buses have 4 wheels...we know which ones don't we?
Ahem....
People and the things they carry ride IN the bus/car/plane. There are NO legs "ON" the bus. Buses have wheels.
There are 10,990 legs IN the bus.
The question is a trick/riddle.
i have told kids "get on the bus" many times. I like the answer 10,990 more than 0
This kitten looks like it suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome.
Shut up mz blah blah
9:48, assuming then you would ask someone to get on your vehicle rather than in your vehicle. Doing or saying something incorrectly a thousand times doesn't make it right.
I always like this part of a post when a thread winds down and two complete loser battle indifferently for no apparent reason
