3 Cats
Logic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
It takes three cats three minutes to catch three mice. (Each cat can catch a mouse in three minutes.)
Assuming they continue catching mice at the same pace, how long will it take the three cats to catch 100 mice?
Hint100 divided by 3 equals ______.

Answer
102 minutes
Each cat catches a mouse in three minutes. It would take them six minutes to catch six, nine to catch nine, and 99 to catch 99; but what about the 100th mouse? It would still take a cat three minutes to catch him, making the total 102 minutes.

each cat would catch 33 mices in 99 minutes. and then one of those cats would have to volunteer to catch the last mouse for the groupd which would be 3 minutes more...

| I was doing it right then changed my mind and went down a different path! Shame on me! It was fun trying though, well at least for me, but not those poor little mice!  |

| it would = 100 mins because if 1 cat can catch a mouse in 3 mins then 3 cats would catch a mouse in 1 duhhhh!!! |

| Nowhere in the teaser does it say that 3 cats can catch 1 mouse in 1 minute.
P. S. : duhhh! |
