I LOVE stuff like this...........

There are 7 girls in a bus.
Each girl has 7 backpacks.
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats.
For every big cat there are 7 little cats.

Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

This coming from the guy analyzing the stock market? Good to see you again.
I've been scanning your posts about the market. I will never understand the housing mess. These people get into loans they can't afford then we are suppose to feel sorry for them? And I am keeping an eye on the stock market. too. Yes, right now my 401(k) is worth less than what I have put into it but I would still love to catch teh market at the bottom and ride it up. But who wouldn't?

7 girls = 14 legs
49 big cats = 196 legs
343 small cats = 1372 legs
Total legs = 1582 legs

This of course assumes there is no driver on the bus.

Now if the question had been worded "on the bus" my answer would have been "None. The bus is on wheels." :)

You know , most people give the girls four legs each so you did real good. You forgot that each girl has 7 backpacks.
