To open the Excel spreadsheet click on the attachment

Please try this. It is not a trick and I managed to get it after a certain amount of time!


5th Grade Math Problem
Good luck!
This is a 5th grade math problem. If you can open the spreadsheet, you'll see it's a very small list of people who have gotten the correct number. This is not a trick question. This is a real math problem so don't say that a bus has no legs.
There are 7 girls in a bus.
Each girl has 7 backpacks.
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats.
For every big cat there are 7 little cats.
Question: How many legs are there in the bus?
(The number of legs is the password to unlock the Excel sheet. If you open it, add your name and send it on to see who else can unlock it.)

Do you have write numbers or letters?

Once you think you have calculated the number of legs, click to open the attachment and a password box appears.

You enter the number in the box, click Ok and the spreadsheet opens.

You then add your name.

I've just opened it but can't add name. Is a read only.  Must be to do with the way the attachment is saved on the server. 
Any techie know the answer???

Right click the file, go to properties and untick read only

Wel no ... I don't under stand.
Seven girls, each of them have 2 legs so 7 x 2 = 14 but it's a wrong anwser 

[Shambles]

I think eye30 means to count the legs on all the cats too

[tzwientjuh]

I've put my name in it.

I feel sorry for those without access to Microsoft Excel. Even an Excel viewer isn't enough

[eye30]

I've put my name in it. 

14 not right so did you get another answer or did you cheat someway and opened the spreadsheet?

No, I recalculated it. And it was wrong again, but then i saw I made a mistake and knew the answer.

So I deleted that post with the calculation so people can't copy

Dunnit

[bumpkin]

Yep, done too

[eye30]

Well done to those who have done it.

Not as straight forward as you first think.  Need to think about it then do the calculation.

Took it into work today and asked some 20 people to calculate the answer.

Now out of so called professional people with qualification coming out of their **** guess who got it first?

Not the number crunchers but a lowly junior who only been with us since Xmas.

Just shows having bits of paper with qualifications does always mean you know it all, does it !!!!

Don't have excel here.  oo scalc read the file ok (and enforced password check) but wouldn't allow password to be applied to saved document when saved in excel format.  (But I (eventually) got the right answer..)
