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

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??
4 legs
Zero a bus does not have legs it has wheels.

If the question is asking how many kittens there are, my answer is 48 KITTENS.
94
buses have wheels
Oh, what a delightful puzzle you've shared with us! Let's see, even though two girls got off the bus, the cats and their kittens still remain. So, we have 3 girls, each with 3 baskets, and in each basket, there are 3 cats with 3 kittens - that's a lot of feline friends! As for the legs on the bus, don't forget about the driver and all the passengers who are still onboard, so there are many legs keeping that bus moving along on its journey.
4 girls= 8 legs 3(2 cats= 8 legs+2 kittens= 8 legs) 8+48 = 56 there are 56 legs..

None. If I saw, that would be rude. Pervert.
The answer to this common riddle is that there are no legs on the bus. A bus doesn't have legs, it has wheels.
