Someone makes up a riddle. People try to answer it. Then another riddle of it is solved.



Riddle: While on my way to St. Ives, I saw a man with 7 wives. Each wife had 7 sacks. Each sack had 7 cats. Each cat had 7 kittens. Kitten, cats, sacks, wives, How many were going to St. Ives?

That's not exactly a riddle, that's a maths problem. And it's pretty simple.
7^4= 2401 kittens
7^3= 343 mother cats
7^2= 28 bags
7^1= 7 wives
7^0= 1 husband
And = 1 you
Which makes 2781 things (people, animals and sacks) going to St. Ives.

My turn.

How do you draw a circle and its center on a sheet of paper, without ever lifting your pen(cil) off of the paper?

Scientist, it is a riddle. Please do not make up a new riddle before confirmation of the right answer. Please edit your post and look a little more closely at the riddle.

You didn't specify "people" or "living beings", and said: "Kitten, cats, sacks, wives", so I included all four and I assumed you meant the husband too...?

EDIT: Owait, you meant yourself too.

correct. If you can't get that riddle then your IQ is proably less than 75.
Here's a harder one...

What is true of the melting point of Ice and the freezing point of water?
A. The freezing point of water is higher
B. They vary on mass
C. The Melting point of Ice is higher
D. They are the same
E. The melting point of water is Higher

wrong. Here's statistical data on who put what:

A 5%
B 2%
C 45%
D 43%
E 5%

Now think why it's wrong....
Melting point of Ice= 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees F)
Freezing point of water= 0 degrees celcius
Meaning that they are both the same.
