You said each girl holds 3 baskets in each hand, which means there are a total of 18 baskets. Multiply the number of baskets by 3 cats per basket and there are 54 cats with a total of 162 kittens. The total number of cats and kittens is 216 multiplied by 4 legs per animal and you have 864 legs. Then you must include the total number of girls' legs which is 6. Therefore you have 870 legs total. This is assuming there are no other passengers or a driver on the bus.
Edit:
This was a question on one of those dodgy TV shows. The answer given as correct was 250 legs. By my reckoning this is 250legs - 6 human legs = 244 cats legs, ie 61 cats.
The only way I can see this being correct is if some of the 3 cats per basket are kittens from other cats!! Is there any equation whereby each cat would have 3 kittens with the total number being 61 cats??
Work it out backwards... 1 cat has 2 kittens (which equals 3) and there are 2 cats with 2 kittens in each basket so there is 6 in 1 basket alone. There are 3 baskets so each girl will have a total of 18 cats. So therefore, between all 4 girls, there are 72 cats.\ :D

4 legs
Zero a bus does not have legs it has wheels.
A bus doesn't have legs. A bus has wheels.
If the question is asking how many kittens there are, my answer is 48 KITTENS.

The answer to this common riddle is that there are no legs on the bus. A bus doesn't have legs, it has wheels.
94
buses have wheels
4 legs
Zero a bus does not have legs it has wheels.
None. If I saw, that would be rude. Pervert.
A bus doesn't have legs. A bus has wheels.
4 girls= 8 legs 3(2 cats= 8 legs+2 kittens= 8 legs) 8+48 = 56 there are 56 legs..
All of them.
