Tough Riddle?

[alexjohnson16]

I read this on some other forums, and I have no clue what the answer is, so I thought I'd let some of the ATOT minds figure this one out...

I know nothing but the question, so I can't specify anything about the question...

Okay, 6 men have 6 grocery
sacks. In EACH sack are 6 cats. EACH cat has
6 kittens. How many feet and paws?

 

[olds]

12 feet
864 paws

 

[Metalloid]

That was hard?

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

6 men x 2 feet per man = 12 feet
6 men x 6 sacks x 6 cats x 4 paws per cat = 864 cat paws
6 men x 6 sacks x 6 cats x 6 kittens x 4 paws per kitten = 5184 kitten paws

so, 12 feet, and 6048 paws.

not much of a riddle

Since it doesn't say 6 men have 6 sacks EACH, I'll go with...

For each sack there are 42 cats/kittens * 4 paws each = 168 * 6 sacks = 1008 paws, and 12 feet from the men

Probably wrong, but who cares.

interesting take...maybe that's the point of the riddle...to see who would assume that 6 men each had 6 grocery sacks. I still believe it means each, but now its not cut and dry and open to interpretation. good call.
