PRAVESH'S ANWSER AT DURBAN GENERBy way of explanation for those who need it - 10992 legs.
7 kids x 7 bags = 49 bags
49 bags x 7 big cats each = 343 big cats
343 big cats x 4 legs each = 1372 big cat legs
343 big cats x 7 kittens = 2401 kittens
2401 kittens x 4 legs = 9604 kitten legs
7 kids x 2 legs = 14 kids legs
1372 big cat legs + 9604 kitten legs + 14 kids legs = 10990 legs.
If there is also a driver there would be 10992 legs.
How about 70 legs if there is No bus driver and 72 is there is...
Answer : 10990
CORRECT Answer : 10990

I heard this one before but the punchline was:
How many legs are on the bus?
Answer:
0 - a bus has wheels not legs.
How about 1584 legs?
aaaahhhh very clever - a bus has wheels hahahahaha. But if we really were counting the number of legs on the bus with a bus driver -how many legs would there be?
Just a thought. The question is "How many legs are in the bus" Not on the bus, so it would have to be the legs of all the kids, the cats, the little cats and hopefully a fully abled bus driver. Cos the wheels wouldn't be in the bus.
