You got it!Originally Posted by cata_mint
As we don't know how long each cat takes to catch a mouse you could (possibly maybe) say that 3 cats catch x mice in x minutes.
So then my answer is 3.
You could also have it as 4.
If it takes each cat 3 mins to catch a mouse, then you'd need 4 cats as it would take 3 cats 99 mins to catch 99 mice.
But I think there was a hint somewhere that said otherwise.
If the whole 3x3x3 thing is a red herring then I'm going with 3.
How wrong am I?
"The same three cats would do. Since these three cats are averaging one mouse per minute, given 100 minutes, the cats could catch 100 mice." is the official answer from the website.
