once i got the image of hendy and bill out of my head i figured it out!!:eyepoke:

i didn't put my name on the list cause i figured i'd end up on a spam list somewhere for geek catalogues

 

[shuckins]

[Greg]

I FINALLY GOT IT....sheesh, and I thought I was good at math.

Before I read the whole thing I thought the answer would be 1, figured it was a variation of one of the riddles from die hard 3 "in my way to St Ives, I met a man with 7 wives"....I was wrong.

 

[tobby4]

not bad, had to use some paper, but i got it

 

[Volusianator]

Fuck it, I'm done trying. Linda's son is a math wiz and he didn't get it either.

Again guys it is pretty easy. In post #6 I gave you the formula.

(7 to the 4th + 7 to the 3rd)4+14=?

I don't have microsoft office excel so I can't open it, but if you did figure this out without paper and pen, then you are the man. I tried it in my head at first and I lost track, so I had to use pen and paper.

i think the thing that throws you the first time is the seven backpacks per EACH girl.

You talking to Wade?

Lol, no. I think he gets enough ribbing from Bill on that subject.

 

[strife]

Good thing I didn't account for the bus driver assuming there is one, I'd have gotten it wrong!

1 big cat = 4 legs
7 little cats - 28 legs

32 legs for each big cat

7 big cats, 32 x 7 =224

7 back packs, 224 x 7 = 1568

7 girls, 1568 x 7 = 10,976

Plus 14 legs for the 7 girls = 10,990
