Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?

Yes it is!!!

How about this:
14 (7girls) + 28 (7 fat cats) + 28 (7 lil cats) + 2 (bus driver)= 72 legs

Sorry...re-read the problem again. You are missing a LOT of cats.

Oh I didn't see the part about each girl with 7 backpack (wtf is that all about?), anyhow, with the same logic: (7x2=14-girls) + (7x4=28-big cats) + (7x7x4=196-little cats) + 2 (bus driver Joe) = 240.

Sorry...wrong again...and there is no bus driver.

Is it idioticly simple that a 2nd grader can see but an adult oversees/over calculates? This is starting to seem like one of Quizmo's not-so-riddlish riddles!
I bet the answer is going to be something retarded like none (the bus has wheels not legs, etc.)

You are on the right track.....

No, it is an accurate count of the number of legs...cats and girls.

Are you having fun yet?

TL - with what judy said, it's just a simple math problem. I'll give you a slight hint, you have to add two complete sets of multiplication together to get the correct answer

Isn't this fun Gizmo?
