I liked Jim's first answer of 10,990.. but I'd go ahead and add the 2 for the bus driver. 10,992 And since *I* must be driving the bus, the bus driver's name is Nancy ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Bensman To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, February 01, 2008 4:49 PM Subject: [GeoStL] Re: NGR: ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER? I could be wrong, does someone know the answer? I figured: 7 girls = 14 legs 49 backpacks would give 343 big cats with 1372 legs 343 big cats * 7 = 2401 little cats with 9604 legs Jim Bensman "Nature Bats Last" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Yvonne Von Der Ahe Sent: Friday, February 01, 2008 4:35 PM To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [GeoStL] Re: NGR: ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER? Oh, my ... I get 1372 cat legs and 14 girl legs for a total 1386. guess my math is bad. Yvonne Jim Bensman <junkmailno@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Sounds like a trick question to me. It does not say the packs are on the bus. So if they are not on the bus, there are 14. But if the packs are on the bus, I get 10,990 So is my price an answer to a puzzle cache?

I tried to figure it out but then decided that being on Darvocet and Flexaril it isn't a good thing for me to try and think. I would like to know if the bus is moving and if so who is driving it??? > Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2008 14:11:29 -0600 > From: asenger@xxxxxxxxx > To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [GeoStL] Re: NGR: ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER? > > - > Where should I send my answer? > > Andrew > > On Feb 1, 2008 1:32 PM, MoTexOutlaw <motexoutlaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > 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? > > > -- >
