Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, feel free to get help or share it with a friend or colleague to see if you can figure it out together.
I’ll confirm answers later in the day so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance.
This weeks riddle:
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 seven kits; kits, cats, sacks, wives. How many were going to St Ives?
