There are 7 girls on the bus, each girl has 7 backpacks, each backpack holds 7 big cats, each big cat holds 7 little cats, how many legs are there on the bus???

I am not this stupid I swear.....:hysteric:

Really? Maybe I am the dumb one! LOL

7 girls equals 14 legs

7 backpacks with 7 cats in it equals 28 legs

the 7 cats holding 7 more cats equals 49 legs (you only count the new cats legs)

so, that totals 91 legs

What did I do wrong?

Does "91" open the spreadsheet? Most people (including me) have to read it a few times to get it.

We did finally get it, just now :yahoo:and yes it was way more than 91. The more we tried the more confused we got (lol) and it really made me feel stupid.

And yes BNJJ it was an email for the spreadsheet.
