Here are a few. 1) Days of the week 2) Players in a Netball team 3) Each number in a standard set of dominoes is represented 7 times. 4) The St Ives Problem.....As I was going to St Ives I met a man with 7 wives. Every wife had 7 sacks, and every sack had 7 cats, every cat had 7 kittens. Kittens, cats, sacks and wives how many were going to St Ives ?

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.
