Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?

don't be suprised that..... Most people these days far surpassed the level of thinking that einstine was capable of; they just don't put all their thought to one task.

Hmmm...I am going to have to disagree with you on that. Some so-called intelligent people I met have the social or communication skills of a spider monkey!!

Perhaps you are not getting enough sleep? Einstein mentioned to someone "probly a journalist" that he needed 10-12 hours of sleep every day, in order to be able to think "better"

Probably, I am lucky if I get 7 hours of sleep. Last year I probably averaged 5 hours a day, it was ridiculous.
My mind is all over the place, so many things to think about and only one fragile lil mind!!

i agree with gizmo's first post

7 kids x 7 bags = 49 bags
49 bags x 7 big cats each = 343 big cats
343 big cats x 4 legs each = 1372 big cat legs
343 big cats x 7 kittens = 2401 kittens
2401 kittens x 4 legs = 9604 kitten legs
7 kids x 2 legs = 14 kids legs

1372 big cat legs + 9604 kitten legs + 14 kids legs = 10990 legs.

Forgot this was here...yes, we do have two people smarter than a 5th grader...well three since I posted this and knew the answer when I did

I still think my first answer was the most technically correct answer...

Oh come on.....
The question was...
How many legs are there in the bus?

Your supposedly technically correct answer;

14 legs (7 pairs that belong to the girls) the others don't touch the floor so they dont count?

There is NO mention of touching the floor, question is how many legs IN the bus.

Sorry, I don't count what I don't see...
