Simple Math?

To be honest... it took me two tries.

FACTS:

There is a train with only 7 children inside
Each child has 7 bags
In each bag there are 7 large dogs
Every large dog has 7 puppies
Everything listed above is entirely in the train
All objects are unique
There is no train engineer
Every child has 2 legs
Every dog/puppy has 4 legs

QUESTION:

How many legs are in the train?

is this a trick question?

edit:

7 kids x 7 bags = 49 bags

49 bags x 7 large dogs each = 343 large dogs

343 large dogs x 4 legs each = 1372 large dog legs

343 large dogs x 7 puppies = 2401 puppies

2401 puppies x 4 legs = 9604 puppy legs

7 kids x 2 legs = 14 kids legs

1372 large dog legs + 9604 puppy legs + 14 kids legs = 10990 legs.

better question is what the hell are children doing with dogs and their puppies in bags?

Posted by _Nut_ on Nov-29-2007 21:13:

No tricks.

Simple math. No gimmicks and Rob you are wrong.

They're obviously gypsy children.

And as I wrote in my email to my coworkers:

I will say that my first guess was way off the mark�. And I will be awaiting a message from someone stating that this could never physically happen. Get over it and think.

are some of these gypsies missing feet due to the war in Kosovo?

*calculating*

1. 7 children x 2 legs = 14 legs
2. 7 children x 7 bags x 7 large dogs x 4 legs = 1372 legs
3. 7 children x 7 bags x 7 large dogs x 7 puppies x 4 legs = 9604 legs

TOTAL = 10,990 legs.

Final answer.

I would assume so. I mean, what are the dogs for, if not to ride like ponies?

Feet are not asked. Legs.

10,990

Posted by _Nut_ on Nov-29-2007 21:18:

Lira - no. That was my first guess.

Posted by Boomer187 on Nov-29-2007 21:20:

obviously its 10990

7 kids x 2 legs each
49 bags
343 big dogs x 4 legs each
2401 puppies x 4 legs each

Posted by UWM on Nov-29-2007 21:20:

It ends in a 0.

Edit - Welp so much for not giving the answer.
