The cat is definitely coming down. It is much more relaxed in that position. A cat doesn't go up that way. If it were it would be in a stressful position with it's claws attached to the stairs.

EverestdeBliu:

Look closely,u can't be too sure.
Its like an optical illusion.

Illusion it might be but certain signs would tip the cat coming down , for one , the tail of the cat indicates the cat is coming down

[size=20pt]It is coming down check the pattern of the staircase by the side of the wall[/size]

it depends on the cat, it can go anywhere it likes

Down down down

WHY a cat? Ok if you see it from its tail, its going up, if you see it from its front, its going down.. so its where you see it from

It's coming down if U look closely but it still depend on how U choose 2 view it and wot U want 2 believe, just like dis pix.

Going up not down......looking. From a builder perspective._ will see that the staircase direction....

If you take a look at the cat next step, it appears the cat is going down. So, down it is for me

micktoxin:

lol you had to spoil the fun. That's the most logical explanation.

turn the picture upside down and think again...

Emmyk:
The cat is coming down, pls.

Do you look back when you are going down the staircase

The cat is moving in a straight line ni..... And it will continue to do so with uniform acceleration,unless it is acted upon by an external force

The cat is heading down, viewing it structurally.

The cat is coming down upwardly

godofwar666:
The cat is going upside down.

best answer so far
lol

I'm none of those .yet .but I have ambition to be a civil engineer.

That's good bro. You will enjoy it as I am enjoying it. Don't let your dream die!

Up,...

Shut up.. Einstein is nt jst a physicist.. He is also a philosopher.. Btw, m a physicist nd I understand what I wrote wella.. STHU

You couldn't answer a simple high-school-level aptitude question correctly, yet you have the repugnant audacity to claim to be a physicist You should bury your head in shame if you're indeed a physicist, which obviously can't be true and must be a bogus claim because thoroughbred physicists are usually very smart, which is something you seem to lack. Did I denounce Einstein being a philosopher? No! He is partly a philosopher. However, you stated "Relativity", which obviously alludes to Einstein's theory of relativity, and this is not a philosophy, has nothing to do with philosophy but is a proven postulation of scientific laws that is calculable and can be mathematically expressed. You claim to understand what you wrote, yet what you wrote is complete rubbish. And to imagine some people actually liked your comment, which makes me wonder what their level of IQ is. One of the primary functions of a cat's tail is to attain its balance during motion. The subject of the question itself was the cat, and not the stairs. The positioning of the stairs and other aspects of the frame of reference upon which the cat is pictured is irrelevant in this case. Does a cat ever run up a stairs with its tail up? No, never! Its tail will be down. But running down the stairs, its tail will be up to keep its body's center of gravity stable due to the forces in play as it races down. Any real physicist knows this. It's either you're a sham physicist or you're a dunce. Now, come back and talk to me when you have a brain that works or STFU !!!

Nazeeboy:
I'm very very sure the cat is coming down not going up because; 1. Look very closely the movement of the cat, look at how it raises it's leg, by that u will see that it is descending. It is not raising the leg higher to ascend further. 2. If u look at the picture of the stairs carefully u will see that it's two pics well design to confuse us. A pic of the ascending and descending stairs. But if u observe carefully u will see that the direction the cat is moving is that it is descending. 3. For instance as u are now holding your phone and viewing the pic, let's say the cat is coming towards you, then look at the first 3-4 steps u will see that the steps are increasing up which is opposite to the direction the cat is moving.

TheWeirdOne:
Boom! It's going down

they are a few sensible pple in this nairaland. And hopefully you are one of them.

The noble oba of lagos ,
He had one pussy cat,
He took the pussy to the top of the stairs ,
And he put it down again ,
And when it was up .it was up,and when it was down.it was down.
But when it was half way there it was neither up nor down. O.P have I solved ur puzzle . Seems this is the only credible answer.

Down, by looking at the step slabs you will know cos from the angle of the slabs, the photographer could only have been taking the picture from below.

The slabs used for steps shoot forward and not upwards. Look carefully at the edges and you will notice the little shootouts. Final answer, cat is coming down.

EverestdeBliu:
it can be seen either way,don't be too assertive.

forget being assertive,the p***y cat is coming down....check out the steps well if someone is going up

dejt4u:
All depends on your reference frame..


looking at it very well, the cat is really going up.

this is what the man Albert Einstein called 'Relativity' in physics

mama chikodi nack my broda one origin.

Cats hop to climb up a stair,in the picture the cat is treading its paw in a downward slope.

Keneking:


Do you look back when you are going down the staircase

I don't seem to understand you. The gato is coming down and looking forward.

who can give me this cat's phone number to call and ask wether its going up or down to break out this competitive battle here...
why our posters do gave us exams but at the end no result or winners declared.

Coming down.

only those who know about construction would know the cat is going down...looking @ d step carefully will tell u d truth
