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?

All possible solutions by Hank)
I don't want Ravi jumping on me for putting punctuation into a problem, so 0 may be an answer. But the way I heard it, the kits, cats, sacks, wives; "All of these things included" (as you might think only people who were actually moving would count otherwise), and in the version I heard, every other line rhymed.
