; This is not a trick question. 
; This is a real math problem, so don't say that a bus has no legs - and don't worry about  the bus 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?
