Math Riddle?

Question:As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives. Every wife had seven sacks, every sack had seven cats. Every cat had sever kits. Kits, cats, sacks and wives how many were going to St. Ives.

Please answer with the number you figured out and the way you figured it out. if you can

Answers:
or he could have met the man along the way, 65
The answer is one because it says at the beginning "As I was going to St. Ives."
Oh, come on. This is as old as the hills. Only one person was going. Everyone (and everything) else was going the other way!!
It's impossible to tell. The riddle didn't say anything about the wives, kits, sacks, or cats going to St. Ives.
O I know this one for sure. I studied this at Harvard!

The answer is 122,323,324,342,546,434,345,45... wives.

LOL the answer is one.

I came to that conclusion after asking my mother,father, cousin, cat, flower, sock and pants, they all concured with me.
One - only you are going to St. Ives.
1
1 because only you were going to St. Ives everyone else you met on the way and you didn't mention that they were going to St. Ives.
no one
None. None of the cats, wives, kits or sacks were going to St. Ives because you said "As I was going to St. Ives..." [emphasis on " I"]. So, the number is 0, you never said that any of the wives, kits, sacks and cats were going to St. Ives in you're riddle above and the answer is not 1 because you are only asking about the wives, cats, sacks and kits, not you, yourself or anyopne else other than the listed things for that matter.

Answer: 0

-Shaii
Only one since it didn't mention that the man's wives came along to St Ives.
Ha ha, one....unless there were some details left out about who was traveling with "I"
