Are you smarter than a 5th grader? (not about the show)

    10,990 is the right answer (and yes, I know I'm repeating myself on this thread).

    I don't know why I couldn't get it before and why I can't get it again. Now I'm only getting 9,618.

    You forgot to add back in the 343 big cats. You multiplied 7 girls x 7 backpacks x 7 big cats x 7 small cats x 4 legs + 14 legs for the girls + 2 legs for the driver = 9,620. Add the 343x4 legs for the big cats and you're golden.

    Same for you, spup.

    I am, in fact, smarter than a fifth-grader. So take that, you little assholes! :D

    Damn. I had 14.

    I couldn't figure it out in my head so I got some real cats. They just wouldn't fit like they were supposed to with their legs on.

    I figured it was a trick question. I mean, why mention legs and not heads or ears? Fify-six live cats definitely didn't fit in the backpack.

    I'm pissed I got it wrong. It's gonna take me all day to clean the blender.

    Here's another fifth-grade question. It's a rebus, remember those?

    Ace's last post
    The Line

    That was kind of rough on a cat person. Pretty funny, though.

    Local radio station has a promotion called, "Are you smarter than a Hooters girl?"

    Let me just say, we gots lots of dumb bunnies around these parts.

    Not really, but I couldn't figure out how to make "Ace's last post" push an envelope. It's hard to achieve more than spatial relationships with text alone, you know. :D

    There are 100 people living in Virginia with 90 of them having indoor plumbing.

    How many of them live in a watershed?
