Math Problem

This is a 5th grade math problem. This is not a trick question. This is a real math problem so do not say that a bus has no legs. P.S. There is no driver. 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? Solution Here

Just wondering if we count live and dead legs ? Should we should take into account
cat mortality rates ? According to http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a783706438~db=all the US cat death rate is about 8.3% which means we have to know, what country the bus was in and i suppose how long they were in the bus ?

And since you've got over 10,000 cats to hand we could try that experiment where you strap buttered toast to their backs and drop them to see if they hover spinning just inches above the ground .... (do dead cats still land on there feet ?)

(Have you still got that book 101 uses of dead cat ?)

A leg is a leg, alive or dead. If you want to wait 'til the dead legs is dust then you have more patience than even a patient Leeds fan.
