Is that one cat per house, or seven cats per house. And is a grain of corn 'a thing'?

 

[Markymark]

Houses = 7
7houses x 7cats = 49 cats
49 cats x 7mice = 343 mice
343mice x 7 corn = 2,401 corn
2,401corn x 7gran = 16,807

Total = 7+49+343+2401+16807 = 19,607

 

[Markymark]

Or...

7^1 + 7^2 + 7^3 + 7^4 + 7^5

I met a cyclist doing lejog

Are the cats very poor at killing the mice? They must be or the mice wouldn't go on to eat the corn.

One. I ate all the cats, thus engulfing everything in my stomach, which only has one compartment to it, and therefore constitutes one thing. If a part of a body cannot be seen to constitute a thing (as in a living entity) in itself, then I myself shall be that thing. Either way, as a result of cat-consumption, there is 1 thing.

Two! Furball & excess wind which takes out the seven houses.

[QUOTE 2555239, member: 1314"]I translated the q from the original Egyptian and my OP was as specific as it got.

Ok - it's from a papyra maths sheet that made up the "100 objects that made the world" thing exhibition from the British Museum. I just got hold of the book so not a completely random post.[/quote]At least you tried. Thats the main thing.
Seeing as you're me, I'd want an apology from @ianrauk.
