Interesting maths problem

Pinky sent me this as follows. It's supposedly a maths question for 5th graders. Can you solve it?
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 on the bus?

Post your answers in the comment section! ^^

    haha i got the email also. i solved it the first attempt. 10990. very interesting they got an excel sheet with the answer as password, so if you didn't get it you can't get in... the question also says exclude the bus driver...

    but actually i think it's only 14, cos the girls are standing ON the bus, but the cats are in the bag, not ON the bus. haha!!
