Another puzzle by Cheryl...

Hi all,

try this from your dearest classmate...

1) There are 7 schoolgirls on the bus
2) There are 7 backpacks on the bus
3) Inside the backpacks there are 7 big cats
4) Out of the 7 big cats, there are 7 small cats

question: how many legs are there?

clue: there are more than 100 legs!

It is very hard.. i can't solve it too! but I know the answer! This is a fifth grade problem sum...

Mr Azhari, I think I know the answer!
4*7=28
28*2=56
56+7=63
7*2=14
63+14=73

I think that is the answer! If I'm wrong or correct,please tell me! Thanks!:)

What's the answer?

Mr Azhari said...

Hey, so what's the answer then!?

FINAL ANSWER IS 42.
do backwards.

Out of 7big cats, there are 7small cats. Means all small cats.
One cat = 4legs.
7cats=28legs.
7schoolgirls = 7x2legs
=14legs.

The question never write Inside the backpacks there are 7big cats EACH.
Backpacks got nothing to do with the girls.

Cheryl, are you sure more than 100 legs? O:
