Answer: 3012

Explanation:

To solve for the number of legs, you have to take into consideration all the given assumptions in order for you to get the correct answer.

First, you have to get the total number of rooms within the palace. Since it says that there are 5 soldiers and each soldier has 5 rooms, so, there is a total of 25 rooms within the palace.

Number of Rooms = 5 x 5 = 25.

It is also stated that there are 5 big tigers in each room. If there are 5 tigers in each room, and there are 25 rooms, multiply 5 by 25 and you will get 125 as the number of big tigers.

Number of big Tigers = 25 x 5 = 125.

There are 5 little tigers for each big tiger, so it means, there are 625 little tigers within the palace. 5 little tigers x 125 big tigers, it is equal to 625.

Number of little Tigers = 125 x 5 = 625.

Now, since both big tigers and small tigers have 4 legs each, it is safe to add the number of big and little tigers.

Total Number of tigers = 625 + 125 = 750.

So Number of legs for all the tigers is;

750 x 4 = 3000.——————————–(a)

Then, do not forget the legs of the soldiers. There are 5 soldiers and each soldier has two legs so that gives you additional 10 legs.

Number of Legs of Soldiers = 5 x 2 = 10. ————–(b)

As you are standing in the palace we will have to count them too.

So Your Legs = 2 ———————(c)

So to get total number of legs we add (a), (b) and (c).

Total Number of Legs = 3000 + 10 + 2

Total Number of Legs = 3012

  1. You = 2

    King = 2

    5 Queens = 5 X 2 = 10

    5 X 5 = 25
    There are 25 rooms belonging to Queens. 

    25 X 5 = 125
    There are 125 big cats. 

    125 X 5 = 625
    There are 625 little cats. 

    625 + 125= 750
    There are 750 cats in total. 

    750 cats = 750 X 4 = 3000

    Total legs = 2 + 2 + 10 + 3000 = 3014
    There are 3014 legs in the palace

  2. I am seeing this quizz going around various groups and all are breaking their heads to find the numbet of legs and so many forums including this is discussing about it. It is amazing to see how this type of nonsense quiz keeps so many people thinking! One way it does a job of keeping so many brains active and live. Good for overcoming alzheimer disease. The question seems to be created to think in a lateral way. What is a leg for a palace means? Hopefully the Pillars of it is called its legs. How many pillars are there? No clue given, so it unknown number of pillars or legs.

  4. It is mentioned that each big tiger has 5 small tigers but it has not been mentioned any where that those small tigers are in the room. So there should be total 500 legs of tiger, 10 legs of soldiers and 2 legs of yourself. Total legs are 512

  5. Question asked is how many legs in the palace ?
    Logically no of tigers should not matter.
    5 soldiers with 5 rooms each n therefore 5× 5= 25
    25 big tigers n 25 small tigers in each room
    So 40 legs in each room
    40×25 rooms =1000
    10legs for the 5 soldiers.
    And 2 yours
    1012 legs in the palace.

  6. Big Tigers with each soldier 5 x 5 = 25
    Small tigers with each soldier 25 x 5 = 125
    Total = 150 x 4 legs = 600 with one soldier

    5 soldiers 600 x 5 = 3000 legs
    legs of 5 soldiers + 1 yourself = 12 legs

    Total legs = 3012 legs
