Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader?

[Kiros32]

This will probably be easy for most of you, but I consider myself a smart guy, and it took me 6 tries to get the answer lol. This came from an email with an Excel spreadsheet attached to it. The answer to the puzzle is the password to open the spreadsheet. Since I can't attach the spreadsheet, I will post the answer when I see that someone has got it right.

And I just noticed this part of the forum, so stay tuned for some more difficult puzzles



A little brain teaser



5th Grade Math Problem

Good luck with this and have fun! This is a 5th grade math problem. If you can't stand word math problems, just delete now. This is not a trick question. This is a real math problem so don't say that a bus has no legs.

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?

That's why they need a bus not a minivan. There are "only" 56 cats per backpack there are 49 backpacks.

Don't know, but it has got to be easier than Baptising them. That's my cat in the avatar after I tried.

I had a cat named gus (he moved to my neighbors house!) He was as wild as could be, He got hit by a car and broke his left back leg. I called the vet and told him the cat was limping but I couldnt get him in the car to bring him in. The vet told me to catch him in a pillow case and bring him straight to the office. It took 2 hours and I was in worse shape then him after the battle.

Send me the recipe please! The last recipe I got from a friend said to bathe the cat first. Darn fur kept sticking to my tongue.
