A bus with seven children,
Each child has a backpack.
In every backpack there is seven cats,
Every cat has seven kittens.
How many legs do they have?

1582 is the answer

but I thought it's usually 7 girls, 7 bags, 7 cats, 7 kittens, which is 10990.

Hey Moray, Casper says that 10990 sounds close (hint from teacher) but how on earth did you get that figure?

I think it's one of those trick questions. Each kid has 2 legs, each cat has 4.

It's like that old one,
"As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives. Every wife had 7 sacks, every sack had 7 cats, every cat had 7 kits. Kits, cats, sacks, and wives, how many were going to St. Ives?" Answers: One. I was going to St. Ives. The others were met coming from the opposite direction.
