How many cats are in a small room if in each of the four corners a cat is sitting, and opposite each cat there sits 3 cats, and at each cat's tail a cat is sitting?

4 answers

Each corner = 1 + 3 + 4 = 8

4 corners in the room x 8 cats = ??
1+2 =3 x 4

There are only 3 cats sitting opposite each cat. There was one there already, so you would add two. One of those two is sitting by the cat's tail.
RETAKE! There are only 4 cats in that room.
