16,384 Legs
7 girls have 14 legs total.They each have four cats, so that's 28 cats with 112 legs total.The 28 cats each have 3 kittens, so that's 84 kittens with 336 legs total.462 legs total are on the bus.But then 3 girls with 6 legs get off the bus.Taking 12 cats with 48 legs off the bus.And taking 36 kittens with 144 legs off the bus.Or removing 198 legs from the bus total.Leaving 264 legs on the bus.
The correct answer is 29178. 26,262 is incorrect. This answer only includes the number of legs of the men and kittens. It misses the the 2912 leges of the cats. Men Cats Kittens (9 x 2) + (81 x 9 x 4) + (81 x 9 x 9 x 4)
For each girl: 4 kittens per cat, 4 cats per basket, 2 baskets, 2x4=8 8x4=32 32x4=128 8x3=32 1x2=2 128+32+2=162x4=648 legs.The above assumes two girls have left the bus. Alternately:Assumptions:> Assumes the girls are not yet off the bus as stated "6 girls are travelling on the bus... two girls are _getting off_ the bus" and as a result are still on the bus at the time of the leg count> Assumes that the kittens are with the cats in the basket and not at home> Assumes there is a driver and they have legs, but are not included as they are not referenced in the statement> Assumes no other passengers, animals, milliepedes or other creatures on the bus> Assumes no disembodied legs aboard> Assumes no tables with legs> Assumes legs on bus seats as information not provided> Assumes "standard" number of legs per animal / person> Assumes there is no ticket inspector> Assumes the baskets don't have legs> Assumes health and safety investigator/Animal Safety officer not on board to monitor 20 cats per basket. These are some big baskets.6 girls with 2 legs each= 6 * 2 legs= 12 legs6 girls have 2 baskets of 4 cats with 4 legs each= 6 * 2 * 4 * 4 legs= 192 legs6 girls have 2 baskets of 4 cats with 4 kittens with 4 legs= 6 * 2 * 4 * 4 * 4 legs= 768 legsTotal Legs= 12 + 192 + 768= 972 legs

7 girls = 14 legs. Hold that number for later. (7 girls) times (7 bags per girl) = 49 bags (49 bags) times (7 cats per bag) = 343 cats (343 cats) times (7 kittens per cat) = 2,401 kittens (343 cats) + (2,401 kittens) = 2,744 4-legged creatures (2,744 4-legged creatures) times (4 legs per creature) = 10,976 legs on the cats and kittens. Add 14 legs on the girls. Total = 10,990legs. (But I am still the only one headed for St. Ives.)
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??
If the question is asking how many kittens there are, my answer is 48 KITTENS.

buses have wheels
There is 4 people on a bus each person has 5 baskets in each basket there is 5 cats and each cat has 5 kittens one man gets off the bus how manny legs are left on the bus?
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.
Zero a bus does not have legs it has wheels.
4 girls= 8 legs 3(2 cats= 8 legs+2 kittens= 8 legs) 8+48 = 56 there are 56 legs..

The answer to this common riddle is that there are no legs on the bus. A bus doesn't have legs, it has wheels.
