Hint: it's freakishly easy if you set it up right and READ the problem well. But it's freakishly hard, if you rush, and/or don't set it up right...:
On one bus there are 7 girls. Each girl has 7 backpacks. In each backpack there are 7 big cats. Each big cat has 7 little cats. How many legs/paws are on the bus? ((There is no bus driver))

Naw, it's 14.
You see, the problem asks for legs/paws ON THE BUS not inside the bus. The cats aren't actually touching the bus, but the legs are.

No, It's 10, 990.
I think you're overthinking it K2ishorse
Here I'll rephrase the problem:
In one bus there are 7 girls. Each girl has 7 backpacks. In each backpack there are 7 big cats. Each big cat has 7 little cats. How many legs/paws are on the bus? ((There is no bus driver))
