PHILOSOPHICAL RIDDLES

As I was going 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, and wives,
How many were there going to St. Ives?
If the narrator meets the group on the way to St. Ives, then they
must be going in the opposite direction and the math
calculations are simply a bit of trickery meant to misdirect.
