Cat and Mouse

If three cats catch three mice in three minutes how many cats would be needed to catch 100 mice in 100 minutes?

3 cats = 3 mice / 3 min = 100 mice / 100 min
So also just 3 cats.

Uzzi,

You didn't say if the 3 cats caught 3 each!!! Two may have been lazy pusses and sat and watched supercat catching them all.
