| This is a 5th grade math problem. If you can't stand math word problems, just delete now. If you can open the spreadsheet, you'll see it's a very small list of people who have gotten the correct number. This is not a trick question. This is a real math problem so don't say that a bus has no legs. Read carefully.
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?
The number of legs is the password to unlock the attached Excel sheet.

| Sounds very interested, but no I'll pass this time. Math and I are no friends. | |

Well he originally got it as an e-mail. So you are supposed to save the excell file, and insert it into a new e-mail to send to all of your fiends. My daughter worked on this for a week before she finally asked me for help. _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

| It clearly says, "PAY ATTENTION". Pretty simple when you do that. ps, anyone that wants/needs the answer can PM me and I will tell you the answer for the low-low price of one cent per leg..... | |

| I got it after 3 attempts. I suppose it helps if you read the question carefully. I guess the problem is that your brain reads what it wants to read without actually noting what the actual question says. Remember the paper that said "Read through all this paper first and then begin at question one" Most people just read question one and answer it, then two and answer it etc. But at the bottom of the page it says "only answer questions 1 and 2 then hand your paper in" Most of the people work right the way through the paper (15 or whatever questions) and run out of time, then start complaining there wasn't enough time. If they'd have done what they were supposed to do, i.e. read it all first, then they'd have finished quickly. Similar to the legs on a bus question. If we read what it says then we'd get it right, but we tend to read what we think it says!!! Fundy _________________ My Christian Metal Website......... Silence Is Madness
