+
+Example:
+- Input: How many legs are there in total if you have 1 duck, 2 deers, 1 spider, 3 cows?
+- Output: 30
+- Explanation:
+    - Ducks have 2 legs each, so 1 duck has 2 legs.
+    - Deers have 4 legs each, so 2 deers have 8 legs.
+    - Spiders have 8 legs each, so 1 spider has 8 legs.
+    - Cows have 4 legs each, so 3 cows have 12 legs.
+    - Therefore, the total number of legs is 2 + 8 + 8 + 12 = 30
+
+Now, how many legs are there in total if you have {animals}?
