  7. Thats a shame, any idea what caused the problems to start with?
  8. There are 7 girls. Each girl has 7 backpack Each backpack has 7 big cats Each big cat has 7 little small cats. 1. Focus on the first girl first: A B C D E F G Girl A has 7 backpacks 2. Now focus on first backpack A1 : A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 Backpack A1 has 7 big cats 3. Now focus on first big cat : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Each big cats have 7 small cats (that's the end of the focus) Systematically, 7 small cats has 28 legs (7 * 4) combined with the big cat that owns this 7 small cats. Lets call this the "cat chain", so cat chain 1 has 32 legs altogether. So since there are 7 big cats 7 * 32 = 224 legs Therefore each backpack has 224 legs Finally, each girl has 7 * 224 = 1568 legs. have made it a bit easier for you have not told you the answer, but should make id a bit better now, this is how i would rite it out on paper for my kids :-)

  19. the information on the above picture, Some of you my find interesting The image above is two pigeon peddlers standing next to sixty thousand pigeons. The California Pigeon Farm was established in 1898, right next to the Los Angeles river. It was the largest pigeon farm in the world. Also one mile away was the railway yards that brought wheat and grain to bakeries nearby. Grain was dropped from the rail cars that helped feed the free flying pigeons. All varieties, all classes were there and one and all inbred. There were forty thousand cotes for young pigeons on the property. The squabs were caught and collected for market at three weeks of age. Squab sold for two to three dollars a dozen. It took sixty bushels of wheat and corn per day, which was shipped in by rail from Northern California. Only five men were needed on the farm and their principle labor consisted of catching squabs, feeding and cleaning out the nest boxes. Fertilizer was also a valuable product of the farm and sold by the carload. Tanneries, owners of orchards and berry farms being the principle purchasers. This brought in a hundred and twenty five dollars per carload. The peddlers of the farm started business with just one hundred birds. There many homers at the farm plus a number variations in color and markings. It was quite a sight to see all these pigeons free flying. Squab was sold at the ranch for food tothe public and shipped via rail to western cities. Remember, only ice was available in 1909 to keep the dressed squabs fresh. The pigeon farm was in operation from 1898 to 1937 when terrific rains caused the free flowing Los Angeles river to swell and the Los Angeles Pigeon Farm was washed away in the flood, never to be rebuilt.
