    I was on the other morning, and due to all the chatter, this simple riddle couldn't get through. Here it is:

    In a train, there are eight ladies.
    Each Lady has eight bags.
    Each bag has eight cats
    Each cat has eight kittens
    each kitten has eight toys.

    How many toys, kittens, cats, bags, and ladies are in the train?

    First person to answer CORRECTLY gets kudos!

    Is this one of those trick questions where if you think enough the answer comes to you?

    *thinks for a little, hoping the answer will come to him*

    Nope, it's purely mathematical.

    I got the same, but there has to be something else to it, or some way of doing it, it can't be that simple.

    Maybe.....

    It's one of those trick questions with several possible answers.
    1) There are no ladies, bags, cats, kittens or toys. They are a metaphor that we all must consider. However, their true meaning is yet undiscovered.
    2) The ladies are in fact transvestites going to a party and the cats and kittens are, themselves, toys.
    3) It's a state of Zen. We are the women and the bags, cats, kittens and toys are the emotional baggage we carry.

    By the way, this post was just to make me look smarter than I really am.
    But just think about them. They soon make sense.

    Maybe the ladies are all communists? Therefor, what belongs to one lady belongs to all the ladies, so there are only 8 bags, 8 cats, 8 kittens, and 8 toys. (this is also assuming that the cats and kittens are communists too.)

    The answer is still 11.

    You already posted your anwser - you're disqualified. ;]
    And maybe, THERE IS NO QUESTION, and it's just an illusion of your imagination. o_O
