Math problem - A Meeting of Minds

mawra · Apr 30 2009, 10:09 PM

My Mother was sent this problem, the link to the answer did not work, but I thought I would let all of you try to figure it out. It is suppose to be a 5th grade problem.

On a bus there were
7 girls each girl had 7 back packs.
Each back pack had 7 large cats.
Each large cat had 7 small cats.
The bus driver was not on the bus.
How many legs were on the bus.

Brenda · Apr 30 2009, 11:04 PM

None, buses have wheels not legs.

Allen · Apr 30 2009, 11:12 PM

7 girls = 14 legs 7 girls X 2 backpacks X 7 large cats X 7 small cats X 4 legs = 2744 legs + 14 legs (on the 7 girls) = 2758 legs.

But how many legs were on the bus?

NONE; busses don't have legs.

mawra · Apr 30 2009, 11:40 PM

I am sorry I mis typed. Each of 7 girls had 7 back packs.

jube · May 1 2009, 05:57 AM

7 girls x 2 legs = 14
7 large cats x 4 legs = 28
Each large cat had 7 little cats (kittens) so 7 big x 7 small = 49 small cats x 4 legs = 196

My total is 238 legs altogether, 7 backpacks and 4 wheels on the bus

.....

And if the bus driver was on that there bus, it would make it, 240 legs

The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round, all the day long

P'ter · May 1 2009, 09:14 AM

Girls = 7 x 2 legs each (presumably) = 14.

Large cats = 7 girls with 7 sacks each = 49, x 7 cats each = 343 x 4 legs each = 1372.

Small cats = 7 girls x 7 sacks x 7 cats x 7 kits each = 2401 x 4 legs each = 9604.

Total legs = 9604 + 1372 + 14 = 10990.

But there are no legs on the bus; they're inside the bus.

There's also an older version that goes:-

As I was going to St Ives
I met a man with 7 wives,
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits.
Kits, cats, man & wives,
How many were there going to St Ives?

Answers on a .......

***Hans*** · May 1 2009, 09:48 AM

Terran girls or alien girls?

Sandi · May 1 2009, 10:18 AM

Alien girls. They've three legs each. And as for the "cats"..............

mawra · May 1 2009, 10:34 AM

P'ter came up with the same answer as Mom's Star Trek group.

Except for St. Ives the answer is different

P'ter · May 1 2009, 12:18 PM

Yeah: there's only one GOING to St Ives (me), the others are all coming away from there.

Over at the NKT, you did not give us the same numbers.

First, you gave us

7 Girls
2 Backpacks
7 Cats
7 Kits

Then you gave us
7 Girls
7 Backpacks
7 Cats
2 Kits

Then you said no one got the same answer as the Star Trek group.

But...how could we, if we don't have the same information?

mawra · May 2 2009, 08:02 AM

I am not sure what happen, why the 2's were there. My tying in normally not that bad.

jube · May 3 2009, 04:21 AM

So who is correct? What is correct? And how do we find out the meaning of life as we know it?

P'ter · May 3 2009, 08:03 AM

Sounds like a line out of Startrek.

or Philosophy 101.

***Hans*** · May 3 2009, 10:19 AM

Jube, for your information:

There are 2 rules and 2 rules only:

1. Hans is always correct.

2. In the extremely rare cases that there is amy doubt about whether Hans is correct or not, rule 1 is automatically applied.

P'ter · May 3 2009, 05:02 PM

But: the answer's wrong!

Allen · May 3 2009, 08:21 PM

I may not always be right, but I'm never wrong.

Lady Maelin · May 3 2009, 11:30 PM

Well what I'd like to know is...if that many girls were on the bus with cats...what in the world happened to the bus driver...LOL!!!

And Yes Hans...we all know the *RULES*....ROTFL!!!

jube · May 4 2009, 03:36 AM

Hang on, Hans, you forgot Rule #3:

#3, Hans owns a brick wall. It's why he got so many bruises on his head. It's just another brick off the wall.

*ducks and runs*

Answer to life:

Eternity!

P'ter · May 4 2009, 03:38 AM

Lady M: the driver's not on the bus as he's allergic to felines.

Greenrider Tresa · May 4 2009, 01:41 PM

One going TO St. Ives vs. those not specifically going...they could be leaving! <G>

So Hans would I be wrong to suggest you typed sta Bloodline instead of Ista Bloodline on your site? ::runs::

Lady Maelin · May 4 2009, 10:47 PM

Peter...so thats why he was scratching so much as he left...LOL.

P'ter · May 5 2009, 05:17 AM

That's what the bus inspector reported: "Scratch one driver."

Kugai · May 6 2009, 10:01 PM

There is no bus

P'ter · May 7 2009, 01:58 AM

So; the girls, sacks, cats & kits are all sitting in an n-dimensional space with a few random atoms circulating in it?

But then the girls, sacks, cats & kits are also randoms collections of atoms circulating in an n-dimension space.

And so are we.

Kugai · May 8 2009, 12:31 AM

You've been talking to Lazarus Long again haven't you?

P'ter · May 8 2009, 05:52 PM

Kugai: aren't I allowed to talk to myself anymore?

mawra · May 8 2009, 10:53 PM

You can talk to yourself as long as you don't LISTEN to yourself. Trust me, that would only get you into trouble.

I have another question.

How do you divide negative numbers. I can not remember.

P'ter · May 9 2009, 02:58 AM

Same way as positives.

If both top numeral (numerator) and bottom numeral (divisor) are positive OR negative: the answer is positive.

If you have one of each (either way over): then the answer is negative.

I not only talk to myself and answer myself, but then I sometimes ask myself, "Huh?"

Kugai · May 12 2009, 12:30 AM

*Smiles at Draco and slowly backs away*

P'ter · May 12 2009, 01:47 AM

... and bumps into P'ter standing behind him having an involved auto-versation.

(if a con-versation is when you are talking against sombody else; there also ought to be a pro-versation)
