Journey To St. Ives (Posted on 2003-05-19) Difficulty: 2 of 5
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?

Yes, and with that much to carry, I would bet that those seven wives aren't going very fast, so it's likely that anyone else going the same way would overtake them.

What is St. Ives, anyway, an animal shelter?
