How many legs?

[Miss.Monroe]

i was sent this email along with a spreadsheet, the password to the spreadsheet was the answer to the problem. i was able to undo the spreadsheet in about 2 mins, and add my name to the small list of people who have managed to get the right answer.


Lets see if you can work it out!


This is not a trick question. This is a real maths problem so don't say that a bus has no legs. The bus driver is not part of the equation.



· 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 on the bus?

Post your guesses, i will PM thoes who get it right so that others can have a go at guessing.
