This should keep you amused for a minute or two.

When you work it out add your name in the attached file. The password is the correct number.

Are you SMARTER than a 5th grader?Huh
This is a 5th grade math problem. If you can't stand word math problems, just delete now. 
If you can find the right answer and use it to open the attached 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.
Read carefully!!!!
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.

A real grade 5 would add an extra two for the bus driver, even though the driver doesn't get a mention.  I reckon with all the cats stuffed into bags the driver has done a runner.

You do realise that each cat has 4 legs!  Unless the KFC man has got to it first!
