Are you kidding? Right now I'm lucky if I can dial a phone number. Nice puzzle, though!

well 7 girls have 14 legs total.
and the cats have 4 legs each. so if there are 7 big cats and 7 little cats, that make 14 cats. 14 x 4 is 56. plus 14 is 70. so i change my answer to 70

9618 legs?

Okay. This took me hours of thinking, and 4 times changing my answer before I posted it. It's going to be a real letdown if I'm wrong. lol....

Oh, WAIT. That's wrong, too! I'll work on it some more later.

@Rae,
Not 7 big cats. There are 7x7 of them, 7 big cats in each of the 7 bags. And those 7x7 big cats each have 7 small ones. + 14 girls legs.

I need my calculator...

OK, sent you a message with my guess. I'm very challenged with numbers, so if I'm off a whole bunch I wouldn't be surprised. More challenging is this computer, if you send me a private message, might be a challenge figuring out how to read it!
