How many legs....?
Susan over at Life is Risky has set out the following riddle:
There are 7 girls on a bus.
Each girl has 7 backpacks.
Each backpack has 7 cats.
Each cat has 7 kittens.
How many legs are on the bus?
Note: There is no bus driver.
Now I don't think the answer is meant to include chair or seat legs and I'm struggling to find legs that sneak in like a steering wheel does when asked about the number of wheels in a car for example. Anyway look away now if you want to work it out on your own. My answer is below the picture!
Titch - My running companion!
My answer: 10,990 legs
And here's one of my own - no prizes I'm afraid just a message on your blog:
A man was looking a picture of a man and said the following:
"Brothers and sisters have I none, but this man's father is my father's son."
At whom was he looking? - leave me a comment with your answer and a link to your blog and I'll let you know if you're right or not!
He's talking about himself.

No legs on the bus. Just wheels.
He was looking at his son, no?

What kind of crazy school list asked for 49 kittens? Protractor, maybe, but 49 kittens?!

He's looking at a picture of his son. I also came up with 10990 for the total number of legs on the bus.
Namaste,
Caleb

I've heard many of these before, if I am right he is looking at himself. :)
