None, the boat rises with the tide
 
Another brain teaser,

A woman has two sons who were born on the same day at the same hour but they are not twins. How could this be so?

Yet another brain teaser.

Miscalulated :oops: 180
 
The problem is a bit vague - answer depends on whether there should be a few "each's" added ;)

If the question means "6 men have 6 baskets each with 6 cats in each basket, each of the cats have 6 kittens."
Then the answer is 6060 legs by my reckoning.

If the question is "6 men have 6 baskets collectively with 6 cats in each basket, each of the cats have 6 kittens."
Then the answer is 1020 legs.

I assume that the baskets don't sit on legs and all the humans and felines have their normal full complement of legs :doh:
