Lol, just saw which part of my post you were replying to.

I thought this was your response to me saying ask Shrivz.

ASK SHRIVZ...............NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

Shrivz goes through 3 calculators, still gets the answer wrong. The bus is going around in circles; this thread gets closed!

Shrivz can barely reduce; asking him to multiply is a Sin. He'll have kittens just looking at the riddle.

The paws are the "feet" at the end of the "legs".

238 i guess.
each bag has a total of 8 cats.(1 big+7 small)
bus has 8*7=56 cats
each cat has 4 legs
so 56*4=224 legs+14 of the girls=238

10990
7(girls)*2(legs) = girl’s legs = 14
7(girls)*7(bags)*7(big Cats)*4(legs) = big Cats legs = 1372
7(girls)*7(bags)*7(big Cats)*7(little Cats)*4(legs) = little Cats legs = 9604

14+1372+9604 = 10990



another one tomorrow

The number of legs is 10990 without a driver.

Here's how...
7 girls have 7 bags each = 49 bags
49 bags have 7 cats in each = 343 big cats
343 big cats having 7 small cats each = 2401 small cats

The number of legs are...
7 girls with 2 legs each = 14 legs
2744 (343 + 2401)big cats each with 4 legs = 10976 big cat legs

10,990

Must be a big bus. An awful lot of cats, really. Just a matter of time and the cats will be out of the bag and out of the bus.
Is the door closed?

Here is the original...

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


I may have missed out a line or two, but hey! probably haven't heard this for over forty years --- and it would make not make a difference to the answer, anyway
