Default Are you smarter than a fifth grader?

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

If you get the correct answer, that's the password to the spreadsheet. Put your name in the column with the names

ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER?

There are 7 girls on 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 Excel sheet.

I think I got the correct answer but since I don't have excell I can't try it.

I couldn't get it to save either, I can't even type in it.
Just post here if you got it to open or not, no need to post the answer.

I got it after a couple of tries. Good one Earl!

Buster, I could only save it as a copy. I think we're to put our name in it and forward on.

Andi, you can probably get the Excel viewer from the Microsoft website, won't be able to add to it, but you can check your answer.

It took me a few tries Alan. It's more of a thinking problem than a math problem.
