While on my way 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?

Ok, i get and agree with 'one'.
However the question is: "kits, cats, sacks, wives; how many were going to St. Ives?" The question specifically addresses the subjects. In which case the answer would be 'zero'.
