Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

This is a 5th grade math problem. This is not a trick question. This is a real math problem so don't say that a bus has no legs. The bus driver is not part of the equation . 
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 on the bus?
The number of legs is the password to unlock the attached Excel sheet.

So my answer of 8604 was completely wrong, but FaceBook still says that I am smarter than a fifth grader, but borderline mentally retarded with verbal abilities...

of course it's 10990...i think it's even for grade 2-3, or for even for all those who know how to use the calculator.. no?..

or we supposed to calculate all this without using the calculator? I didn't get what's the trick...

every 5th grader is taught the difference between "in" something and "on " something   so 10,990 "in" the bus ,zero "on " the bus

sorry

7 * 2

 

+

 

7*7*7*4

 

+

 

7*7*7*7*4

 

 

 

 

14 + 1372 + 9604 =10990

 

 

If you want to draw all the cats like as in the excel sheet.. do it that way...

 

You might get more marks...

Please solve this. I am too old and senile. As an engineer, you should be able to quickly put this one to rest.
