The most common modern version is:
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?
Your challenge is to work out the answer to the riddle.

Another answer is
2. "I" met the man on the road, he was also going to St Ives, and he told me of his wives, sacks, cats and kits, but they weren't with him.
