Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

I just got an email with this 5th grade question. I actually answered it quicker than I thought I would. Can you figure it out? Ill give you a cookie.

There are 7 girls in a bus.

Each girl has 7 backpacks.

In each backpack, there are 7 big cats.

For ever big cat, there are 7 little cats.

Question: How many legs are there in the bus??

9618? (or 9620 with the driver?)

Allison,
That was the worst answer I have ever heard. We are now that much dumber for hearing such a ridiculous answer. I now award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

The correct answer is 10,990 legs.
