only 11 tries it took me.

Moosie, you dont have to lie to make friends.

LOL..... I wrote it down actually. I didn't do it jsut in my head. It was Simple math. Instead of doing the whole thing, I broke it down by 1 person.

1(person)*7(Bags, which is really nothing)*49cats (7 per bag)*342 cats (7*49)

1*2(Legs)=2
49*4(legs)=196
343*4(legs)=1372

Added = 1570(legs)
7children*1570 =10990

YAh, First try.. bite me

took me 5 tries to get the right answer, I did it the way Moosie did, takes awhile, but the answer was right...what did I win.

I quit after the first try and went back to quantifying values for a project we're bidding next week...Moosie, could you double check my estimate?
