Solution: Legs in the Bus?

There are a lot of legs on this bus!
Last week, I posted the Legs in the Bus brainteaser. It's a pretty challenging math problem; it is not a trick question. Some people got it right (David after a couple of attempts, Anali, and Karen ) and others - who will remain nameless - didn't even come close.



There are a lot of cats in this backpack!
  • 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


  • So how many legs are there in the bus?

  • There are 7 girls on a bus

  • Each girl has 7 backpacks

  • In each backpack, there are 7 big cats: 7 girls x 7 backpacks/girl x 7 big cats/backpack = 343 big cats

  • For every big cat there are 7 little cats: 7 girls x 7 backpacks/girl x 7 big cats/backpack x 7 little cats/big cat = 2401 little cats

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  • 7 girls x 2 legs/girl = 14 girl legs

  • 343 big cats x 4 legs/cat = 1372 big cat legs

  • 2401 little cats x 4 legs/cat = 9604 little cat legs

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  • 14 girl legs + 1372 big cat legs + 9604 little cat legs = 10,990 legs



  • There are 10,990 legs in the bus
