Here is an easy one:

As I was going to St Ives
I met a man with seven wives

And every wife had seven sacks
And every sack had seven cats
And every cat had seven kits

Kits, cats, sacks, wives
How many were going to St Ives?

Which way were they going?

it's clearly 4, the driver is actually a lizard overlord that eats girls and cats and turns them into a pulpy goo substance

Was expecting some standard BS riddle answer: No way! The bus was actually a freakin CATERPILLAR!! there were 891875^45 legs!! LOL YUOU ALL THICK>>.>+!

So its not a riddle, its a question...

343 big cats
2401 little cats

4 legs each = 10976

7 girls

2 legs each = 14

10990 legs

Firstly i LOVE that film

Right has anyone considered that their will be chair legs on this vus, as its hardly a bus without any seats.... So assming tehres only 8 seats on the bus there might be more like 30(ish) legs on the bus, and NO CATS!!!

Two. The man was walking slowly to St. Ives, narrator was walking quickly. He didn't have seven wives because polygamy is illegal.

Theres only one going to St. Ives as it doesnt state if the man he meets is going to St. Ives or if hes leaving or just standing there.... :cool:

10990 here.

7 x 2 for the girls = 14

(7 x 7 x 7) x 4 for the big cats = 1372

(7 x 7 x 7 x 7) x 4 for the little cats = 9604
