"Sesame Street" song is *WRONG!*

The key is that every cat has seven kittens so those numbers are multipled, 343 times 7. So since each wife has 49 cats (7 cats times 7 bags), making it a total of 343 cats. Then, each cat has another 7 kittens which comes out to 2401 kittens.

1 man +
7 seven wives +
49 sacks (7 x 7) +
343 cats (49 x 7) +
2401 kittens (343 x 7) = 2801

*can't imagine the furballs*

One cat is more than enough for me!

Bryon,

All this coming from the person who claimed, when she said she had 2,801, but really had 2,401,

She had 4 too many!

Uh, that would be four HUNDRED too many there, Byron.

Oh well, as my Japanese algebra professor once said to me, "Math is not for you... cannot get blood from stone!"

Okay, so seven wives with seven cats and seven kittens with seven uh... corndogs, devide by three, multply by the square root of pi, uh...

Ah Heck! Let's call in the Count!!!

I know every 7 has 7 whatevers.

AND IT STILL DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!

7 wives
x 7 sacks = 49

x 7 cats = 343

x7 kittens = 2,401

+1 man = 2,402

WHAT IS GOIN' ON HERE?!?!?

*humiliated that he's bein' bested by SS*

Lol, yep---I told y'all I did that right before I went to bed---sleepy Byron!

Wait a minute---is 343 x 7 supposed to equal 2,801? Cause that's not why my ex-roommate's calculator says...

Oh, come on, Phillip, admit it, you like the cat. Otherwise, why would you feed it?

2,401 is just the number of kittens there are. You've got to then add the 343 cats, 49 sacks, 7 wives and 1 man. That's right isn't it? I just used Phil's maths for that

YES!!! That's it!!

They didn't tell me I had to add everything!! LOL!!! I just thought as I went along multiplyin', everything took care of itself...lol Jackie's right, good thing I didn't major in math!

If only these people had told me that! LOL!!

Wait a minit wait a minit wait a minit!!!!! Do cats and Sacks count as people....cause if they do.... (shakes fist ala Homer Simpson)
