I say the same thing I said the last time this was asked:
7 kids x 7 rucksacks = 49 rucksacks.
Each rucksack has 7 families of 8 cats = 56 cats per rucksack. (How big are these rucksacks?)
49 sacks x 56 cats per sack x 4 legs each = 10,976 legs.
Plus 7 kids x 2 legs each, = 10,990.

7 girls = 14 legs
7^2 bags
7^3 big cats = 343*4 = 1372 legs
7^4 small cats = 2401*4 = 9604 legs
Driver has 2 legs
Legs in the bus = 14 + 1372 + 9604 + 2 = 10992
But the question just says that each girl HAS 7 bags, not that she's carrying them. IF they haven't got their bags with them there are 14 legs, 16 including the driver.

Work backwards.
4 Legs/Cat.
7 Sm. Cats + 1 big Cat=32 Legs.
7 Big cats/Kittens per bag=224 legs per bag.
224 Legs@7 Bags=1568 legs + the 2 for the girl=1570
7 Girls@1570 per girl=10,990 Total Legs.

total bags in a bus: 7 girls x 7 bags = 49 bags
total cats in 49 bags: 49 bags x 7 cats = 343 cats
total small cats of big cats: 343 * 7 =2401 small cats.
total legs in a bus:
2401 small cats *4 + 343 big cats *4 + 7girls *2+1bus driver*2
9604+1372+14+2= 10,992cat legs and human legs

7 small cats plus 1 big one, times 4, = 32 legs per big cat.
7 * 32 = 224 legs per bag.
7 * 224 plus 2 for the girl = 1570 legs per girl.
7 * 1570 plus 2 for the bus driver = 10992 legs in the bus.

7 girls = 14 legs
7 X 7 bags = 49 bags X 7 cats = 343 cats x 4 = 1372 legs
343 X 7 kittens = 2401 kittens X 4 = 9604 legs
14 + 1372 + 9604 = 10 990 legs
(+2 if driver's required)

The answer is 0 leg.
We are explicitly told that there are 7 Girls in a Bus, but we were not told the girls had any legs, hence we assume no legs.
Although we were told that each Girl had 7 Bags, we were not told that they had the Bag in the bus. The Bags could be at home or else where.
We were also not told that there was a driver in the bus or other people. The bus could be also stationary.
So we can ignore the rest of the information.

7 x 2 + 7 x 7 x 4 + 7 x 7 x 7 x 4 (not include bus driver)
= 14 + 196 + 1372
= 210 + 1372
= 1582
7 x 2 + 7 x 7 x 4 + 7 x 7 x 7 x 4 + [1 x 2][include bus driver]
= 1582 + 2
= 1584

Using my Special Reverse Theorem: (My creation)
Each Cat has 4 legs
there are 7 small cats
the small cats belongs to the seven big cats
the big cats belong to the 7 bags which eventually
belong to the seven girls (girls who have a total of 14 legs because we humans male or female have 2 legs) keep that in mind. many of the answers havent taken that fact into account..
( 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 ) x 4 = 9604
uptill bags the answer is 9604
now take the girl factor into account
9,604 + (7 girls x 2legs each)
9,604 + 14= your answer is near pal!
9,604 + 14 = 9,618 is the answers..
If you still cant believe that fact that there are 9,618 legs in the bus, neglecting the hairy legs of the driver, then you can end up on mspaint and start drawing up the data. But I will tell you that putting this jargon data into a graphic form is a hectic job!
I hope all goes well!
Thanks!
Cheers 10 pts!
