RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 It doesn't say how many people the bus holds, and if there are any boys on the bus as well? <_< But EACH girl has 7 bp's with 7 big cats in each....so it's actually 49 big cats X 7 little cats X 4 legs each.

LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 No it doesn't. The 9604 just covers the small cats legs. There are also 343 big cats that you have to account for.... they have legs too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 there are 2401 small cats... but you're missing the 343 big cats, which would mean there are 2744 total cats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gummer12 134 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 7x7x7, does that not equal 343...and for each of them, are 7 small cats.. so ergo, I am correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downz 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 Before you go any further, make sure you have the wording of the email correct. I had someone ask me this same thing not to long ago, but part of it was worded differently. IN, and ON can make a world of difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
