A Puzzler ...
Let's say you have six men and they each had six baskets. Each basket has six cats inside and each cat has six kittens. Assuming all are whole and healthy, how many legs are there?

dam ... I thought I had him 
PUZZLE ANSWER: 6,060.
There are six men who each have six baskets.
This equals 36 baskets.
Each basket has six cats which equals 216 cats.
Each cat has six kittens which equals 1,296 kittens.
Therefore the kittens represent 5,184 legs.
The cats represent 864 legs.
The men represent 12 legs.
The sum total is 6,060 legs.
Whew!
