7 girls = 14 legs. Hold that number for later. (7 girls) times (7 bags per girl) = 49 bags (49 bags) times (7 cats per bag) = 343 cats (343 cats) times (7 kittens per cat) = 2,401 kittens (343 cats) + (2,401 kittens) = 2,744 4-legged creatures (2,744 4-legged creatures) times (4 legs per creature) = 10,976 legs on the cats and kittens. Add 14 legs on the girls. Total = 10,990legs. (But I am still the only one headed for St. Ives.)

On your way to St Ives you met a man with 3 wives - each wife had 3 cats each cat had 3 kits each kit had 3 mice and each mouse had 3 ticks How many were going to St Ives?
The nomal riddle answer is "one" (you). However, if you overtook them as they were headed in the same direction, the answer is 1+1(man)+3(wives)+9(cats)+27(kittens)+81(mice)+243(ticks) = 365.The original is an old English nursery rhyme :As I was going to St Ives I met a man with seven wives Each wife had seven sacks Each sack had seven cats Each cat had seven kits Kits, cats, sacks, wives How many were going to St Ives?The answer would be 1 or 2802.

The answer is 555-0001.The riddle is that the phone number is 555, followed by the answer to the riddle from "As I was going to St. Ives". The riddle is designed to have you multiplying and adding powers of 7 (seven wives, seven sacks, seven cats, seven kittens). The actual answer is that only ONE (the speaker, I) is going to St. Ives, while all the rest are coming from there.

How many answers can you get from this? ONE PERSON was going to St. Ives, that was YOU.The correct answer is ONE. You are the person going to Saint Ives. The fact that they use the term "you MET" a man, indicates he must be traveling in the opposite direction. If you had overtaken the man while he was on his way to Saint Ives then they would have said, you either "saw a man" or " caught up with a man", not "met". For two entities to "meet" they must be traveling in the opposite direction.That leaves YOU, you were going to Saint Ives, you and you ALONE.. so yes the answer is ONE!Plain and simple, why is this made so complicated. The original riddle was that on the way to Saint Ives, You met a man with 7 wives, etc etc. The original implied that you "met" the man, if you had caught up with the man, then the term would have been different. Back when the riddle was written the term "MET" meant that the person you "met" was obviously traveling the opposite direction, you were going to Saint Ives, the man was traveling in the opposite direction of you when you "met" him. Leaving only ONE possible solution. 1 person was going to Saint Ives, YOU, the man was NOT going to Saint Ives but rather traveling in the opposite direction.AnswerThe answer is 1, because only YOU are going to St. Ives. You just met a man, but that doesn't mean he's going to St. Ives.
