I'd like each person to only post once and don't look at other peoples answers. I'll post the answer in a few days. I want to see how many get it right. It took me a few tries to get it

Hmm ... You may want to screen all the answers if you don't want anyone "cheating."

10,990. Or 10,992 if you also count the bus driver.

Without using a calculator, so if I'm off from mental math d'oh.

2932 cat legs and 14 human legs for a total of 2946 legs on the bus (add 2 more for a bus driver if necessary, though it wasn't specified.)

Okay, I fail at multiplying 7s and/or 4s.

I got 10,990. I suck at math though, so I won't be shocked if I'm wrong.

Yours was my fvorite answer. Mostly because it's an odd number. That poor 3 legged cat.
