There are 7 girls in a bus
Each girl has 7 backpacks
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats
For every big cat there are 7 little cats
Question: How many legs are there in the bus?
I think that the real question is 'Should P.E.T.A be investigating this cruel and unethical method of cat transportation'?

I get 9620 legs, assuming the driver hasn`t got off the bus because of all the damned cats!
7 girls, x 7 backpacks =49
backpacks x 7 big cats =343
big cats x 7 kittens =2401
cats x 4 legs =9604
cat`s legs + girl`s legs(14) =9618
cats & girls + driver = 9620.
