Just a little something to get the creative juices flowing today. How is your stamina? Are you smarter than a 5th grader? Here is a fifth grade math problem that you can ponder and work on at your leisure. It will be kind of fun to kick up your heels and throwback to the days of yon. Let's see how smart you are.
There are seven children on a school bus riding to school. Each child has seven backpacks. Inside each backpack there are seven big cats. For each big cat, there are seven little cats. How many legs are on the bus? (As someone (namely Nick) mentioned, technically there are no legs on a bus, only wheels but how many legs are riding in the bus?)
Email me back with your answer at mtolley51@gmail.com and I'll let you know if you get the answer correct. There could be a gold star for those of you who get it right. I'll publish your name on my blog (i.e. the bulletin board).

I've had one answer and they were verrrry close. Would get a B+ but for one slip up. Any more takers out there?
If this is a logic problem, what the hell is each kid doing with seven backpacks? How is that logical?!
You guys are getting bitter!
Still no winners yet! Two terribly close. They need to get together because they each have the other's piece. What else is there to do today?
Nick and team Ellen/Chad make my bulletin board! Gold stars for you guys. What's holding everybody else up?
I've been too busy practicing for ISAT tests, don't have time for this nonsense. Perhaps I'll get ALex to help me with this and then I know that I'll win! Also, that's gotta be one damn big backpack to hold all those damn cats. My school wouldn't allow it!!
Janice got it right the very first time!!! She is the official "first guess winner." Only one so far. Others will be honorable mentions.
