It's seven 'kits' and you missed a bit.
Kits, cats, sacks and wives, how many were going to St Ives?

Now are we supossed to answer this one.
"I'm" going to St. Ives. That's it. None of you can come along. My
car is full!

I went there for my hols last year. Lovely place. Used to be an old Cornish
fishing village, now frequented by artists and holidaymakers.

The riddle went like this....
When I was walking to St Ives
I saw a man with seven wives
And each wife had seven sacks
and each kid had seven cats
and each cat had seven kids
kids, cats, sacks, wives how many were going to St Ives?
I actually know the riddle because it's actually a song but I didn't know
it was in Die Hard. Anyway, hope it's what you've wanted!

You blew it both times, Shelly. You didn't learn the nursery rhyme well
enough.
You used the words "kid" or "kids".
That should have been "kit" or "kits" as in short for "kittens" - i.e. baby
cats.

Iain
