|
|
Okay a quick IQ test
Time yourself (starting once you have read the whole thread) and record your time – be honest
There is a bus with 7 children.
Each child has 7 rucksacks.
In each rucksack are 7 big cats.
Each big cat has 7 small kittens.
Each cat has 4 legs.
Question: how many legs are in the bus?
At the moment please record your time ONLY - please PM me with your answer and I will let you know whether it is correct or incorrect.
For the record it took me 4 minutes - there is a file that cannot be opened until you get the correct number unfortunately it is an excel spreadsheet and I can't upload it to here so the PM avenue will have to do
Good Luck - the clock is ticking......

Okay the answer was 10990
Here is how -
7 children x 2 legs = 14
7 children EACH with 7 rucksacks and in EACH ruck sack there are 7 cats - so thats 7x7x7 = 343 (cats) x 4 (legs) = 1372
343 (cats) have 7 kittens each = 2401 (kittens) x 4 (legs) = 9604
So 14+1372+9604 = 10990 legs
not 200(ish) which is what "some" people answered
I'll leave this on show for another 24 hours and then bin - thanks to all who participated (and we won't be putting a team into the Mensa National IQ league ) |
