Subj: 5th Grade Math Question

Lets test your math skills.

A small list of people
have gotten the correct number.

This is not a trick question.
This is a real math problem so don't say that a bus has no legs.


THE RIDDLE
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?

if 14 is correct then it is more of a trick question, since the question leads people to believe the cats are on the bus and that all cats have 4 legs

in that case...

its (2 * (# of girls)) + (4 * (# of big cats)) + (4 * (# of little cats))= 2*7 + 4*(7^3) + 4*(7^4)= 14 + 4*343 + 4*2401
