It's not really as hard as the email states. I was able to get it after 3 tries. But thought it was a cool brain teaser so figured I would pass along. If you need a hint let me know.
:2thumbs:
Try out your luck, guys. I have added my name too in the champs.
Only few people can open the below file.......once you succeed to open this file, you will find names of the people at all India level who have managed to open this......Best of Luck.
How to open attached file???
There is a bus with 7 girls.
Each girl has 7 bags .
In each bag, there are 7 big cats.
Each big cat has 7 little cats.
Each cat has 4 legs.
Question: How many legs are present in bus?
Number of legs is password to open attached file.
If you will open the file, write your name on the list inside same as I did, save the file separately on your PC, and send this email along with the new saved file to your friends to let them solve the riddle. Also reply to my mail along with the PASSWORD.

1st try? Very impressive. I had feeling Sombeech would have no trouble either.
2nd question then, let's take it up a notch:
Same scenario... Assuming a cat has 5 toes on each front paw and 4 toes on each back paw. How many TOTAL toes are represented on the bus?
:naughty:

Got it, 2nd try. :2thumbs:
But I think the correct answer should have been +2 to account for the bus driver.... that's why I missed first try.
I mean really.... who ever heard of a bus without a driver. :ne_nau:

My 1st and 2nd guesses I didn't add in the girl's legs, it does not state that they have any.

2nd question my answer 49,392
I got 49462. But since I'm pulling numbers out my ass lets review. :P
7girls x 2 legs = 14 legs x 5= 70 human toes
7 girls x 7 bags = 49 bags x 7 big cats = 343big cats x 4 legs = 1372 legs /2 = (686 front legs x 5 = 3430 front toes) + (686 x 4 rear legs = 2744 rear toes) = 6174 big cat toes total
343 big cats x 7 little cats x 4 legs = 9604 legs /2 = (4802 x 5 front = 24010) + (4802 x 4 rear = 19208) = 43218 total little cat toes
add toes all up = 70 human +6174 big cats +43218 litle cats = 49462 toes total ?

This thread reminds me of the "Invisible Movie Quiz" thread.
I still get asked about the answers, 2 years later. :lol8: I posted it on some other forums, and I get private messages all the time from people who are going nuts.
Here's the thread:
