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.)
7 girls have 14 legs total.They each have four cats, so that's 28 cats with 112 legs total.The 28 cats each have 3 kittens, so that's 84 kittens with 336 legs total.462 legs total are on the bus.But then 3 girls with 6 legs get off the bus.Taking 12 cats with 48 legs off the bus.And taking 36 kittens with 144 legs off the bus.Or removing 198 legs from the bus total.Leaving 264 legs on the bus.
As I was going to Saint Ives, I met a man with seven wives, Every wife had seven sacks, Every sack had seven cats, Every cat had seven kittens, Kittens, cats, sacks and wives, How many were there going to Saint Ives?

The modern version is: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, and wives. How many were there 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 riddle is as follows... 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, and wives, how many were going to St. Ives? After you multiply things out for a while, you realize the answer is one. I was going to St. Ives. The other people were going in the opposite direction.
KITTENS means baby cats.So only CATS can have kittens.

No, cats do not typically steal kittens from other cats. They may move kittens to a different location for safety or care, but this is not considered stealing.
Cats and kittens are carnivores.
One.Only you were going to St Ives.It says "As I was going.." but intends to say that the people met were leaving St. Ives, but that is obviously not a required situation -- you could be walking alongside them.
