There are 7 girls on a bus.
Each girl has 7 backpacks In each backpack, there are 7 big cats. For every big cat there are 7 little cats. How many legs are there on the bus? This is a real puzzle the answer can not be "Buses don't have legs" ... there is an answer...

My final answer 798.
These things are the reason I dropped math. I dont know if im going too deep into it, but is there anyone else on the bus? Like the bus driver or something? This is the first thing I thought of this morning when I woke up. You'll have to share that answer with us or its gonna drive me nuts. ;]

1596.
7 girls, 4 legs each. 7x4=28** 7 girls, 7 backpacks each. 7x7=49 One big cat per backpack. 49 backpacks, 49 cats, 4 legs each. 49x4=196** 7 little cats per backpack. 49 backpacks. 49x7=343 4 legs per little cat. 343x4=1372** 28+1372+196=1596 Not that hard.

LOL no only two legs for the girls... okay you ready for the answer?
10990!!! 7 x 2 = girls legs 7 x 7 = Total back packs (49) x 7 big cats in each = 343 x 4 (legs) = 1372 343 (big cats) x 7 (little cats) = 2401 x 4 (legs) =9604 14 + 1372 + 9604 = 10990 Crazy huh? LOL!
