A 5th grade word problem:
There are 7 girls on 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?
There is no one else on the bus, not even the bus driver.
Let's see what you come up with!!

Sorry. don't want to think that hard...:)
Is this a trick question?
no tricks i promise!
7 girls x 2 legs each = 14
7 x 7 = 49 backpacks
49 x 7 = 343 big cats
343 big cats x 4 legs each = 1372
343 x 7 = 2401 little cats
2401 little cats x 4 legs each = 9604
14 + 1372 + 9604 = 10990 legs
