There are seven Myncis.

For every Mynci, there are seven Hissis. For every Hissi, there are seven Bori. For every Hissi, there are seven Ixi. For every Ixi, there are seventeen Kyriis. For every Kyrii, there are seven Eyries. Every pet has six Kimbis. Every Kimbi has seven Itchis.

I saw two possible answers to this, but I went with what was the 'only think about it for 5 seconds' rule.

All I can say is, make sure and read the text very, VERY carefully. You will want a list of the quantities.

yah

when they say "every pet" do they mean each species of pet or each group of pet... I wish they would word these better... and they very well could be talking about the picture of the 3 itchis at the bottom hahahaha!

I had a go for this one.

Even though I'm not bright at maths, I think I've got it :o

That's what I got too...I'm hoping I did it correctly!

...I got a sum of 30...
*goes to check my work*

Edit// still getting 30

Ditto on the sum of 30.

I'm so confused, my numbers don't add up right!

Oh, I just realized I forgot the Eyries.

Oh well, I rarely get one right as I always rush.

Double checked mine and got 30 ;)

Can't remember how I got 27 but if anybody who got 27 wants to see where they went wrong I'd be happy to nudge em in the right direction :P

Assuming that 30 is right of course :P

I got a sum of 21, oh well :P

Sun Nov 12, 2006 2:48 am

21 for me too.... hmmm.

Wait! no!

Just looked at the problem again.


And i believe... very strongly... that the answer is 27, and not 30.

Well... sum of the digits anyway.

I strongly believe the answer is a number. With digits.
