even more cats

[low_delta]

This is a 5th grade math problem.

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?

14
The only objects actually identified as being "in a bus" are 7 girls. As it cannot be assumed that each girl brought all seven of her backpacks with her, the answer, provisional to a determination that all of the girls have no more than or less than two legs, is 14.

So wait, now these girls are negligently shoving 7 cats each into multiple backpacks, and then just leaving them at home? I think we're going to need to call the police on this one.
