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 a bus has no 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.

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

As a riddle, the answer to this question is zero legs on the bus since buses have wheels. However, as a math problem, the correct answer is the only one which will open the attached spreadsheet.

Best Wishes,
El
