Question: How many legs are present in the bus?
I received this in my email last week together with an attached protected spreadsheet. The supposed answer would be the password to open the file. Since i am on petiks mode(hehe), i gladly aim for the solution of the given problem thinking that it is easy. First attempt...wrong. Whoa what item did i miss to include, which legs did i forgot to add or multiply? Hmmmmm...back to calculation. After a couple of minutes i have a brand new answer. Double click the file...password prompt pop ups...enter the digits...press enter...plangak! wrong again. hehehe...this was not easy as it may seem. Okay back to calculating the cats then the legs with a notepad and calc open. Daya? Well the digits are getting bigger eh and i am not that gifted to do it mentally. ('__') A couple of addition and multiplication here and there, another combination of digits was produced. For the 3rd time, i got it all wrong. Nyahahaha...easy pala ah. Now, im challenged. I read again the email this time slowly than the last because this could be a trick question and the answer could just be there screaming at me. But no it was a legit mathematical problem. okay back to the notepad and the calc...there is a bus with the girls, there are bags, cats, kittens...legs, multiply, add...voila! got a new answer. Hoping this is it, i carefully punched the digits and tadah!! the spreadsheet opened. Yihaaa! Im so proud of myself that i added my name on the list and forwarded the email to others. Two of whom i forwarded it to got back to me asking for the answer and one refusing to even try coz it will only give her a headache. Nyahahahha...
Happy Solving!
