    4 cats per basket = 16 legs
    5 kittens per cat = 20 legs
    so per basket there is 96 legs
    12 baskets is 1152 (6 baskets per person)

    plus the legs of 4 people : the driver, Mary, and the two with the baskets..
    .....

    equals 1160!! what am i forgetting?

    There's 24 baskets

    Alis 2
    Bree 2
    casey 2
    darcy 2
    ===================8


    6 baskets
    4 cats
    4 legs
    therefore 96

    96 times people 4 ===== 384 + the above 8 ======= 392


    392 minus casey and drcy = 4


    388 bingo
    + mary = 2

    390 == Answer



    kittens is just a statemnt
    ans they could have baskets of cats on the seats



    390 + bus driver = 392


    so ANSWER = 392

    Oops. Not reading properly. Sorry.

    In previous incarnations of this puzzle those leaving took their cats but left the baskets behind.

    Dont have the TV on but my guess is it'll be the usual logic and the person who gets on will bring baskets and probably kittens. My reasoning is PlayTV will think if you've figured out the logic that they take baskets on and leave kittens behind that there's no way you'd think someone new would bring both on.

    each cat has 5 kittens so 5 kittens +4 cats=24 cats per basket or maybe just 4 cats per basket.

    put it another way and say parents instead of cats
    just because a parent has kids it dosent mean the kids are with them on the bus.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33 ophoudini


    see above

    bus driver = 2
    kittens not on the bus at all , its just a stament
    mary just brought her two legs

    answer 392


    also note

    Maybe "got off" is just a euphemism...

    but then... you can't guess which kids are on the bus and which aren't?

    I'm more swayed toward me not realizing that the two that left didn't necessarily bring the cats with them

    so then... 2312?
    I'm going to bed

    Some answers Im going with...all answers include 2 legs for the driver and 20 legs for the animals in the picture on the roof and in the bus along with the other details from the wording of the puzzle.

    2332 - Mary doesnt bring on cats and no cats/kittens get off

    2908 - Mary brings on cats/no cats/kittens get off

    1756 - Casy and Darcy take cats with them when leaving..mary brings cats on

    1180 - Casy and Darcy take cats with them when leaving and mary brings no cats on


  • Registered Users Posts: 357 ✭✭3nero


    there could be breeding pairs of cats in each basket
    2male+2female...each cat has 5 kittens but only 10 kittens per basket.
