    Drill this out and see if you are a mathematician!
    Scenario:

    - There is a bus with 7 girls inside,

    - Each girl has 7 bags,

    - Inside each bag, there are 7 Big cats,

    - Each Big cat has 7 small cats,

    - All cats have 4 Legs each !

    Question: How many Legs are there inside the bus?


    sa mga inhinyero or bsmath dyan, baka pwede nyo naman sagutin yan.
    alam ko matagal ng kwento yan pero dyan nakasalalay ang susi para sa mabuksan ang nakatago.then i'll share it with you kung ano ang laman.promise

    incomplete information....

    you never mentioned if there are other passengers aside from the girls...is there a driver? is there a conductor (male or female?)?

    9,618 legs (without driver)

    7girls x 7bags x 7big cats x 7small cats = 2401 total number of cats
    2401cats x 4 legs = 9604 legs of cats
    7girls x 2 legs = 14 legs of girls

    9,604 + 14 = 9,618 legs

    You only counted the legs of the small cats and the girls.
