Howdy y'all,
If one were to read the question as worded than to "read into it" ... the
answer is 14.
The girls are on the bus, not "in it".
The cats are in the backpacks, with backpack location not specified, soooo
... one cannot necessarily take for granted that the backpacks are with the
girls, (and not specifically "on the bus").
While this may be splitting 'the proverbial hair', it is a sad result of
working in health care with governmental oversight at every turn.
(and was there any mention of whether any of the girls suffered AKA or BKA? ...
and whether that is an additional qualification, but I digress)
Respectfully submitted, I remain ...
your humble servant
