Question - St. Ives Riddle

Solution:

This is a classic riddle that's often used as a trick question. The important part of the question is the first line: "On my way to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives." The key word here is "met." The narrator met the man with seven wives on the way to St. Ives, but it does not say that the man with seven wives (and all the sacks, cats, and kits) was going to St. Ives.Therefore, based on the information given, the only person we can be sure was going to St. Ives is the narrator. The answer to the riddle is one person: the narrator themselves.
