I got an email saying this:
"There are 7 girls on the bus, each girl has 7 bags in her hand and there is one cat in each bag and each cat has 7 kittens.

Calculate how many legs there are on the bus"

It is driving me mad because the answer is a password for a file and I can't view the file until I get the answer.
Lol... Stupid I know but I just can't work it out!

buses have wheels not legs
none
the bus has 0 legs...its a trick question.
7 x 4 re kittens plus 4 for the mum = 32 so 32 legs in each bag.
7 bags so 7 x 32 = 224. So 224 feline legs per girl

224 per girl so x that by 7 = 1568 feline legs in total

7 girls so 7 x2 = 14 girl legs

1568 plus 14 = 1582.

But you may have to include another 2 for the bus driver (well you wouldn't get on a bus without one. Would you?
Sh*t
oh maggoty good try :-)
it doesnt say the kittens are on the bus.... 1 cat per bag? think this is def a trick question....
None!! Buses don't have legs!! That would mean my own little world had collided with this one... o_0

Rubes, try Maggoty's answer plus 2 legs for the bus driver.
its a trick question
Lol , this is fun , have you tried all of those yet ?
I would have thought none too the way the question is put .

One must also account for the possibility that some or all of the girls (or indeed the cats and kittens) may be either part Siamese twins (counted as ONE girl but having three legs) or flids or amputees (hence one or no legs).

Someone is pulling your leg.

Oops, there�s another one! Does this bus also have a conductor (+2)?
Do any of the cats or kittens have fleas? not to mention the girls might have head lice, don't forget the flies that infest public transport, and what about the near invisible bugs like bedbugs that would be on the seats? if you take all them into consideration then the answer, ruby is millions and milions
Also if the bus is coming from Dover or Folkstone there's bound to be a few illegals clinging to the underneath of the chassis.
If it's the bus, with those 7 girls ,that I was today then you have to count my 2 legs , plus a man sat with his guide dog , and I could hear lots of boiled sweets and toffees clanking round false teeth , so you have to count an unknown number of pensioners too :-)
Plus there's that gorgeous well endowed man at the back of the bus. Don't forget to count his 3rd leg!
Which leg of the journey are we on now ?
