7 tries and you feel like a nerd? I think you might need to feel like a drop out[]

wow that was so easy how did you not do it?!

duh just take the square root of the derivative of the cubed root of the 7 childrens legs times the circumference of 8 squared plus pie... mmmm pie..... divided by 7x for the x number of legs per child of intelligence if pi does not equal the 3rd power of the ninth lap around the track that the bus races without a driver so 7x to the x power of 7 plus the small cat legs of 4 each and big cat legs of 4 each (if i was one of the cats they would say that i have FIVE legs....) but im not so that doesnt matter and then if you add 0 to your total of the pathagorean theorm then youll have your answer... DUH how could you NOT figure that problem out?

Your answer turns out to be 0. The derivative of a whole number is 0 and after that your just mulitplying and dividing 0.
