[StBernard] Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader?

[Westley Annis]

I actually didn't get that many responses to this, which is why it kind of
slipped my mind.

Going back over the emails I did receive, I got three right answers: Rena,
Jo, and John Scurich.

Editor's note: Although I won't pass the Excel spreadsheet through the list,
send your answers and I'll post the answer tomorrow.

 Okay are you smarter than a 5th grader....?

This is a 5th grade math problem.    If you can open the spreadsheet, you'll
see it's a very small list of people who have gotten the correct number.
This is not a trick question. This is a real math problem so don't say that
the bus doesn't have legs. 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.    The bus driver is not in the bus at this time.

Question: 
 How many legs are there in the bus?  (The number of legs is the password to
unlock the excel spreadsheet.    If you open it, add your name, save it, and
then send it on to see who else can unlock it.)
