Got a riddle

[ATTACH=full]345174[/ATTACH]

7 men have 7 wives. Each man and each wife have 7 children.

What’s the total number of people

~ Idea 1 ~

1 - There are 7 men and there are 7 wives. This means:

14 People = 7 Men + 7 Women

2 - Each wife has 7 children so this means

49 Children = 7 Mothers * 7 Children

3 - The total number of people is…

63 People = 14 Adults + 49 Children

63 People = 7 Men + 7 Women + 49 Children

4 - There’s 63 people…unless this isn’t a trick question

~ Idea 2 ~ (Most Likely)

1 - Children: 7 Men * 7 Wives * 7 Children = 343

2 - Wives: 7 Men * 7 Wives = 49

3 - Men: 7 Men = 7

4 - 343 Children + 49 Wives + 7 Men = 399 People

5 - There’s 399 people…this is more of a trick math question then…

Most people would do the third idea. which is wrong…look below

~ Idea 3 ~ (Wrong)

1 - Uh durrr this is obvious lol: Just do 7 * 7 * 7

2 - Lol It’s 343.

3 - lololol where’s the trick. I see nu trick

4 - [This person has fallen for the trick]

63

63 pax

7men*7women=49

49adults+7kids+7kids=63

7 wives+ 7 men= 14
each wife has 7 children so 77=49
each man has 7 children so 7
7=49

Hence total number is 14+49+49= 112

Ps. Nobody said the men were married to the wives, right?

Instead of trying to be clever and saying 56 adults and 343 kids giving 399 total. I’m just gonna ignore that part of my brain and assume they have one wife each because it wasn’t stated anywhere that they have seven wives each because the fullstop came before the each.

So 14 adults. Each house hold 7 kids. 49 kids total. 63 people total.

At the end of the day the puzzle is about whether you believe grammatically it’s said that have each got one wife or seven.

7 men each with 7 wives leads us to option 2

777*7=2401

The statement is 7mens have 7wives and not 7men and 7 wives ,so the men own the wives .The issue of children is that the two groups form an intersection called a couple hence there are 7*7 children, hence the no. Is 63

112

There are 7 families of 9 members per family (2 adults and 7kids). So just multiple 7x9= 63 total

It’s simple 56 bro. No way a man =7×7 and woman =7×7 because you haven’t been told “each man and each woman have 7 children each”. Each is the missing keyword

Mlipata answer gani wasomi?

So, what is the answer?? Au ata wewe haujui?

It’s a language question. Each man an each wife = each has 7 kids, so it is 14 kids + 2 adults in a home
