    Genius people's only

    There is a bus with 7 girls.
    Each girl has 7 bags.
    In each bag, there are 7 big cats
    Each big cat has 7 little cats.
    Each cat has 4 legs.
    Question: How many legs are present in the bus?

    Does each girl has a girl, too?
    Is the bus standing or going?
    Do all girls have 2 legs?
    Does the driver have two legs (if he is present)?
    Do artificial limbs count or not?

    Too little information!

    Well, no, there are plenty of loopholes to dodge the answer.

    A bus has wheels, not legs, so the answer is zero. Put your calculator away Yura

    Too late, I have already calculated all possible variations

    "Present in the bus" means exactly that. Notice "in".

    If anything, definitely lost on a non-native.

    I'll stand by my answer

    I think the 'in' should have been 'on'. Yes maybe a language thing.

    Hmm I'm not buying it, sorry. This is a very old puzzle, the answer has always been zero.

    I know the puzzle isn't related to language, and I know that buses have wheels not legs.
