    7 girl = 14 legs
    7 packs per girl
    1 girl is carrying 7 packs X 4 legs per pack = 28
    28 x 7 = 196
    196 + 196 + 14 = 406

    what about the bus driver? Cats have 2 legs and 2 arms?

    Unless this is like one of those "if a rooster layed an egg on a roof which side would it roll" and i just don't get it then the answer is 10,990...but i'm sick today and kinda out of it so it may be a trick question and it's gone over my head


    7 x 2 = 14

    7 x 7 x 7 x 4 = 1372

    7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 4 = 9604

    14 + 1372 + 9604 = 10,990

    Only 2 because the girls are "on" the bus (double decker - British??) and the driver is "in" the bus. Unless there is no driver (never implied the bus was moving, or that the girls were on a trip) so there are no legs "in" the bus.

    if you want to think of it like that then another way of looking at it is ok there are 7 girls on the bus, but how many boys are on the bus also?

    OR Assuming there are no abnormalities, and all extremities used for regular walking (Humans = 2legs, cats = 4legs) then yo have 10,990 legs excluding the bus driver's.

    And thats what makes it completely gay. (if true). It probably originated as an simple SAT question or something, and some retard answered with a completely obscure answer, and then justified it in a completely illogical way. From there it turned into a joke, and is used to tease those with basic (logical) math skills.

    i havent read thru the answers so i dont know if im reposting someones answer but waht i got was.. 1582

    we assume each girl has 2 legs and each cat has 4 legs.
    7 girls = 14 legs
    7 backpacks = no legs.
    7 big cats in each backpack so... thats 49 cats so thas 196 legs.
    for each big cat there are 7 little ones. so 49 * 7 = 343 cats which is 1372 legs
    now 14 + 196 + 1372 = 1582 legs


    BUT u said there are 7 girls on the bus right... which is probably on top of the bus... so there would be 0 legs IN the bus cuz everyone is on top... if you meant to say 7 girls in the bus the answer is 1582.

    7 x 2 = 14

    7 x 7 x 7 x 4 = 1372

    7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 4 = 9604

    14 + 1372 + 9604 = 10,990
    this is what i came up with as well

    2758 edited to be 10990(didn't multiply # of cats by 4)

    14 human legs
    49 backpacks with 56 cats per pack
    14 + 49 x 56 x 4 = 10990

    if there is a driver add 2

    Question: How many legs are there in the bus?
    Is it a riddle or is it MATH as the title states?

    I got 10,990 assuming cats have 4 legs and all the girls have 2 legs.

    Otherwise, 0, as there are none "in" the bus.
