Took my ages to get the right answer! And I'm an accountantnoway


This is a real math problem so don't say that the bus has no legs.

Not enough information.

Is the Driver included in the girls on the bus?

Are there any Boys on the bus?

The Question can not be answered until it is clarified.

No driver on the bus
No boys messing with compasses down the back seat
If it helps the bus is yellow in colour !

No worries, best to know all the facts. ie Q. Can a frog jump higher than a tree? A. Yes because a tree can't jump.

Interestingly enough I saw a programme last night on the brains emotions and risk where there was this guy giving people money GBP £20 in their hand and asking them if they wanted to gamble the money to win more but that if they chose not to gamble they could just keep the money £20, and then also this guy with some other people he gave them £50 in their hand and then immediately took £30 back and asked them if they wanted to keep the £20 (still in their hand) or gamble....in all cases the people who were given £50 in their hand and then £30 immediately taken back chose to Gamble...therefore they precieved that they were losing £30 and that the risk was worth taking.

Katwoman,
my my you do ask a darned lot of questions!
The girls are on the bus, the backpacks are on the bus, the big cats and the little cats are in the backpacks that are on the bus. No need to count the legs on the seats on the bus and also Heather MCartney (Dancing on Ice Superstars) is not on the bus. Its not a trick question, but it took me ages and I had to employ a spreadsheet !
Also Katwoman, because of your name I can assure you that no cats were harmed during the making of this question
