I define myself to be on the outside!

I was reminded of this riddle when I saw this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDvlO9q6qWk&feature=fvw

It is considered to be in extremely poor taste to mention the number two hundred eighty-eight amongst mixed company. Why?

it looks like a woman with a pony-tail and large bosoms and buttocks.

Simple. It's two gross.

MATHEMATICAL!

There are 7 children on a bus,

Every child has 7 bags,

There are 7 big cats in every bag,

Every big cat has 7 little cats.

QUESTION - How many feet are there?

by my research, the average school bus measures at about 37 feet.
and my math told me that there should be 10992 feet... assuming I didn't punch anything in wrong. It took me a while to remember that children only have two feet not four, and that there is probably a bus driver on the bus as well.

14 kid feet, 2 driver feet hopefully, and 0 cat feet since those are paws.

the paws are ON their feet.

10990, by MATH, instead of riddle.

I got 10992 by math.

Hyperion is in fact right.

on which count? the theory that cats do not have feet, or the theory that these kids have broken onto a bus in the middle of the night and are letting loose thousands of cats inside (with no chaperone)?

You're just bitter I didn't indulge in your attempt to make the riddle into something else.

no, I'm actually curious which answer is correct. the 16-feet one or the 10990-feet one?

I dunno but re: "Paws are on their feet" I think you mean pads, I think the things on a cat's foot are called pads and the whole thing together is a paw
