14 on the children
7 x 7 x 7 x 4 = 1372 on the big cats
and 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 4 = 9604 on the kittens.

Making a total of 10,990 legs altogether, assuming it's not a trick question.
Are we supposed to add an extra 2 legs that belong to the driver?
No driver was mentioned in the question. In that case you could assume that there were another 20 people on the bus and an octopus.
An octopus?

Now you're being daft........


If you'd have said an aardvark fair enough, but an octopus?
and what is wrong with octopuses?!!
They must be large backpacks to have 7 big cats and 49 kittens in.
disregarding any other passengers, and assuming there is a driver, i think there would be TWO legs, as surely the cats and kittens would have a bit on the noisey side and the driver would have made them get off the bus, stating that what the children were doing would come under animal cruelty, anyhow if i am wrong ( favourite outcome) the children may have had a kitten or two in thier back pockets (ouch) mmm...just thought - what about the legs on the seating ? oh yes, and have all the children got two legs, some may only have one, and kelly from the isle of man may be on board. (i'm off - gettng fed up now ) must dash - my bus is due !
i'm back - missed my bus, y'know squarebear could be right, and each tentacle could be carrying seven backpacks with seve big cats and each big cat could be .......................................(god i bet you all wished i'd caught my bus (chuckle)
Either none; all the cats & all the children are amputees. Or only the driver has two legs, as occupational requirement.
No legs on a bus, only tyres!
Good one but it said how many legs are IN the bus.
here again (wish someone would sort this one out) anyhow another suggestion - only 2 legs in the bus - all the passengers and large and small cats stuck legs through windows - strewth imagine the smell - yyyyyyukkkkk
-- answer removed --
i wish the cats were the ones fouling my back lawn - i'd pay all the kids fares !
i,v been away for three week got stuck on a bus full of cats kitens kids 1 octopy one driver and a conductor . I was stuck on the top deak with three wise men three sheperds and a flock of sheep . I couldent get off the bus and all your worred about is how meany legs on the bus . you should be more worred about how many toilets on the bus !
squarebear is correct, it is 10,990
i would say no legs in the bus, because it doesn't mention anything about any girls/cats in the bus.
