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?

ASSuming the girls are human, the backpacks and cats are in the bus, there's no bus driver, and there's no amputee/extra limbs, I'm getting 10990 legs.

Let's see:

49 little cats and 7 big cats for a total of 56 cats or 224 legs in each backpack

7 backpacks per girl is 1568 legs per girl plus the girl's 2 legs is 1570.

1570 * 7 = 10976 legs?

Shit 1570 * 7 = 10990. That's what I get for doing it in my head and I have brain damage.

Here's an oldie but a goodie:

Three men decided to split the cost of a hotel room. The hotel manager gave them a price of $30. The men split the bill evenly, each paying $10, and retired to their room.

However, the manager realized that it was a Wednesday night, which meant the hotel had a special: rooms were only $25. He had overcharged them $5!

He promptly called the bellboy, gave him five one-dollar bills and told him to return it to the men. When the bellboy explained the situation to the men, they were so pleased at the honesty of the establishment that they promptly tipped the bellboy $2 of the $5 he had returned and each kept $1 for himself.

The Problem: Each of the three men ended up paying $9 (their original $10, minus $1 back) totalling $27, plus $2 for the bellboy makes $29. Where did the extra dollar go?

The $2 tip is accounted for in the $27. It's then added again.

Yep, you both got it although I still think it's some sort of rip in the spacetime continuum.

It is all in the Process. You must do math equations in the right order to get the right answer.

Who cares? Those 2 legs wrapped around me would work.
