crater1 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 i'm missing something because I thought it would be like 70 Quote
RNG187 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 get a piece of paper. write 1-7, then break it down. write the totals at the end of each "row" then multiply by 7, and add and do it again. then once u get a total #, multiply that by 4. THEN times 7 and two, add it on and u get 10990. ;D Quote
BigMoneyNacku Posted March 19, 2008 Report Staff Posted March 19, 2008 crater1 ]i'm missing something because I thought it would be like 70 I dunno bro. I don't see how those guys came up with those numbers. Maybe they are counting the legs on the crabs on those girls.

RNG187 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 crabs on them? LMAO! no, b/c you ADD THEN MULTIPLY, THEN MULTIPLY AGAIN. Quote
TOW-19 Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Posted March 19, 2008 Okaaaaaay......then try THIS one on for size..... Take the numbers: 1, 3, 5 and 7 You have to use each of those numbers three times. You can ONLY add those numbers together. You CAN use fractions, but again, you must use EACH number a total of THREE times in the entire, single-line equation....and it must all equal = 20 Quote
BigMoneyNacku Posted March 19, 2008 Report Staff Posted March 19, 2008 RNG187 ]crabs on them? LMAO! no' date=' b/c you ADD THEN MULTIPLY, THEN MULTIPLY AGAIN. [/quote'] Fuck me in the ear. I just re-read it and there are 7 back pack on each girl. I just assumed there were one 1 each cuz that's normal and I musta read it the way I wanted. Quote
RNG187 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 tow, its past 1 on the east coast, my brain's only concerned about teaching absolutely nothing tomorrow, and making a sig for some unmentioned staff members Quote
Guest M16Assassin Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 this isn't very difficult to understand, the answer is 238 legs. 1. 14 legs from the girls 2. 28 legs from the big cats 3. 196 from the little cats Quote

You forgot the 7 backpacks.......LOL But keep tryin' there, sport! LOL Quote
Guest M16Assassin Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 fuck I didn't see each girl has 7 backbacks I thought they only had 1. Damn now I look dumb lol Quote
Guest M16Assassin Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 is it 1386? that was just a quick guess. mental math. Quote

o-BacklasH-o Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Here is how you solve it: There's 7 small cats for every big cat, so that gives you 56 cats per backpack or 224 legs. Times 224 by 7 since each girl has 7 backpacks. This will give you 1568 legs per lady not including her own two legs. Multiply 1568 times the total number of girls which is 7 and you get 10976 legs, then add the 14 legs of the ladies and you have 10990. Ill sign autographs later lol. Quote

o-BacklasH-o Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 I googled one that doesn't provide an answer and I am about to attempt to do it now: Poster Prices: 12" x 18" = $7 24" x 36" = $9 41" x 20" = $11 The Poster Palace at the mall is offering a special sale on their posters: “Buy two posters, and the cost of one is reduced by a dollar.†Chaya, Emma, Juanita, Travis, and Whitney each bought two posters and spent a total of $85. * Whitney bought two different-size posters, but they were not the same combination as those Travis or Chaya bought. * Chaya spent $17 on two different-size posters. * The two posters Travis bought cover 1,080 square inches. * Emma spent the most, purchasing two posters of the same size. How much money did each person spend, and what size posters did they buy? Quote
