	The fact that every cat had seven kits does not necessarily imply that all the kits were also in the sacks. Come to that, the fact that the man had seven wives does not necessarily imply that all of them were travelling with him.

	A man with seven wives! See! This is what legalizing gay marriage leads to! Also, PETA is calling for an investigation of multiple cats being transported in sacks. It's clearly an inhumane form of transport.

	Cats haven't got opposable thumbs! How on earth are they going to put a plastic kit together? And they've got seven to get through! ...What do you mean, short for kittens?!

	Not clear which St Ives they were going to. There's a choice of two!!

	This quiz is too UK-centric.

	But what about if the guy telling the riddle was just walking faster than the others and everyone was going to St. Ives?

	ZEUS: He said how many were going to St-Ives, right? The riddle begins as I was going to St-Ives, I meet a man with 7 wives. The guy and his wives aren't going anywhere. JOHN: What are they doing? ZEUS: Sitting on a ****ing road, waiting on the...how the hell should I know?!?!?!?

	Not to mention, for all we know the man the narrator met was also travelling alone and his wives and all their possessions were back at home. I mean after all, with seven wives and 2744 felines of various ages running around the house, wouldn't YOU yearn for a little getaway trip, even if it was just to the next town?

	I don't think it's too UK centric. I grew up in the US and I know the riddle/rhyme. BTW the answer is 1. The others were headed the other way.

	I guess there are at least a couple of Sporclers without a sense of humour.

	Too easy. I had quite a bit of time left. It isn't UK centric, I'm a 16 year-old kid in the U.S. and I've know the rhyme for years (Admittedly I read a lot, and love both nursery rhymes and riddles)
