Are you Smarter than a .....5th grader?

Since I didn't get a new Math question this week from Milk was a Bad Choice I figure I'd challenge you all or as they say down here y'all.

This was an actual item on a test given to a 5th grade class in Duval County. So ask yourself ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER?

7 kids were in a bus, each with 7 bags. In each bag was a big cat, each big cat had 7 little cats. How many legs were in the bus? (Hint: There are no tricks to this question)

I'll take a shot:
7 kids x 2 legs = 14 legs +
(8 cats x 4 legs)x 7 bags x 7 kids = 1582 legs

(how did they fit "the big cat" into the bag?")
