There are 7 girls in a bus
Each girl has 7 backpacks
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats
For every big cat there are 7 little cats
Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

10990

Explanation:

(7 girls)x(2 legs each)=14 legs

(7 girls)x(7 backpacks each)x(7 big cats in each)x(4 legs each cat)=1372

(7 girls)x(7 backpacks each)x(7 big cats in each)x(7 small cats for each big cat)x(4 legs each)=9604

14+1372+9604=10990

7 girls
343 big cats
2401 little cats

9604 little cat legs

This is probably one of those dumb things where someone does it mathmatically and then erad posts "LOL NO EACH BUS SEAT HAS 4 LEGS AND THERE ARE 30 BUS SEATS LOLOLOLLOLOLOLLOL".

Anyway, without any of the retarded withholding-information crap, it should be:

7 * 2 + 7^3 * 4 + 7^4 * 4

...or 10990.

Actually, my other guess was "The bus has no legs, it's got wheels" :P
