    2744 legs??

    Nice try, but no. Your mind wandered to thinking of those cute boys instead of the math, eh? ;)

    Can we go back to the cute boys?

    This is a trick question.

    Boys carrying 7 bags each, with each bag having that many dogs… CANNOT BE CUTE!

    But I’d say 28 Legs, unless puppies have Legs too.

    Weeshiong, I never said the boys were carrying them. It’s a bus, buses have storage for lots of bags, remember? (Since when do gayboys travel light eh?)

    Of course puppies have legs – and even if we don’t include the puppies, your answer is still wrong.

    Haha. I realised my answer was wrong, like, the next day, when my brain finally woke up :P

    So what’s your new answer?

    Is the answer 119???

    7 guys : 17 legs
    7 dogs : 28 legs
    49 Pups: 196 legs
    Total: 238 feet.

    Since leg is usually refered to as a pair, i devide the 238 and get 119.

    Wait a min….this is a trick question. it cant be tht easy. lets see…

    There is a bus with 7 cute boys inside, ( Tht makes 14 legs)
    Each boy has 7 manbags,
    Inside each manbag, there are 7 Big dogs, ( Each manbag has 28 big dog legs)
    Each Big dog has 7 small puppies, ( 7 puppies times 7 big dogs is 196 puppies legs)
    All dogs have 4 Legs each! ( Since each guy is carrying 7 man bags each therefore each guys are carrying 1568 dog legs. 1568 times 7 guys equals 10976 dog legs. Plus the 14 legs from the cute guys, tht makes it 10990) But do not forget..wht about our legs and the legs of the bus driver..therefore add another 4 and tht comes up to 10994.

    Question: How many Legs are there inside the bus?

  10. MaXius |

    Clayton got it right.. one of the times – 10990.

    But then he started thinking too much and assuming..

    I never said the bus was moving, so there’s no driver. And I never said you were in the bus. :P
