At random: The first Japanese prisoner of war captured by the Americans was Kazuo Sakamaki, an ensign in the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was captured on the morning of December 7, 1941. Sakamaki had set an explosive charge to destroy his disabled submarine, which had been trapped on Waimanalo Beach. When the explosives failed to go off, he swam to the bottom of the submarine to investigate the cause of the failure and became unconscious due to a lack of oxygen. Sakamaki was found by a Hawaiian soldier, David Akui, and was taken into military custody. When he awoke, he found himself in a hospital under American armed guard. After the war he returned to Japan and found work with the Toyota Motor Corporation before retiring in 1987. Sakamaki died on November 29, 1999, aged 81. |

COMSUBBBS Posts: 3202 Location: Alexandria, Virginia | Subject: RE: Brain Buster...or maybe not... HEY...My brain done been busted...I was figuring cats and multiplying them by four to get legs. My math credentials are quite formidible...took Algebra II seven times to include three USAFI courses....still waiting to get a passing grade....I can add my fingers and toes and get the right answer three times in ten. I also figured in four amputee cats....and twelve born legless. DEX | ||

Master and Commander Posts: 1324 Location: Oxnard, CA | Subject: RE: Brain Buster...or maybe not... miss lumpy bumps - 2008-04-18 9:21 PM Anyway...here goes... There are 7 girls on a bus. Each girl has 7 backpacks. In each backpack, there are 7 cats. For each cat, there are 7 little cats. Question: How many legs are there in the bus? Have fun!!! 7 Girls, and each girl has 7 backpacks = 49 backpacks 49 backpacks X 7 cats = 343 cats 343 cats X 7 kittens = 2401 kittens 2401 kittens X 4 legs/kitten = 9604 kitten legs 343 cats X 4 legs/cat = 1372 cat legs 7 girls X 2 legs/girl = 14 girl legs 10990 total legs. There was never a mention of other passengers or driver. | ||

Great Sage of the Sea Posts: 781 Location: Port Orchard WA | Subject: RE: Brain Buster...or maybe not... There is no answer because it asks for legs the we don't know how many legs there on the other people on the bus the seats on the bus could have legs etc. but if it is not meant to be a trick question the answer is 7 to the 4th power times 4 assuming each little cat has 4 legs + 7 to the 3 power times 4 each big cat + 14 (2 for each girl) so assuming every one has normal # legs and no driver etc the number of legs should be 10990 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO Creeping NUCISM I am glowing again On NOOOOOOO | ||

Next brain teaser, How many donkeys does it take to pull a bus with its' wheels inside from Washington DC to Buffalo New York? DEX C'mon Dex, I saw your buses ands they are the same as ours. So therefore, they have at least ONE wheel IN the bus, maybe TWO. ONE = Steering Wheel TWO = Steering Wheel and maybe the Spare Wheel. As for the leg question.....what about the 'legs' to the seats? yeah, I know, there's alaways one...... Blue *_* | ||
