I've got the spreadsheet at the shop; post your answers or send them to cmcllp@hotmail.com Math Problem - Are you smarter than a 5th Grader? The correct answer to this problem is the password that opens the spreadsheet. If you can open the spreadsheet, you'll see it's a very small list of people who have gotten the correct number. 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? The number of legs is the password to unlock the Excel sheet. If you open it, add your name and send it on to see who else can unlock it. Send it back to let the person know you got it correct. This is a real math problem so don't say that a bus has no legs.

I do not think you can get 10990 legs on a bus if some of those legs are on cats- cats are pretty nasty to other cats. generally.

10992, if you count the bus driver's legs.

Here's another one.

As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives. Each wife had seven sacks. Each sack had seven cats. Each cat had seven kits. Kits, cats, sacks, and wives, how many were going to St. Ives?

One?

I got that one but I had heard it before maybe. Now about the bus driver.....who is to say he was not out for a break of coffee or to get some air fresheners.

You are a smart one, Rob.

Upps, it was , Prag. I went back and reread it and since it is so broadly stated I guess my coffee break excuse will not work.

Prag, you are the smart one but then you already know that. Anyway it was fun to figure. Anymore.????
