St Ives

An old riddle.

As [I]{travelers: we or I} [was]{verb} going to St Ives
I met a man with [7 wives]{wives: 1..10}
Every wife had [7 sacks]{sacks: 1..10}
Every sack had [7 cats]{cats: 1..10}
Every cat had [7 kits]{kits: 1..10}
Kits, cats, sacks, wives
How many were going to St Ives?

total_sacks = @wives * @sacks
total_cats  = total_sacks * @cats
total_kits  = total_cats * @kits
man         = 1

if @travelers
    narrator = 2
    @verb = 'were'
else
    narrator = 1
    @verb = 'was'

The first guess is often [2753]{first_guess}…

@first_guess = man + @wives + total_cats + total_kits + narrator

…but the correct answer is [1]{answer}.

@answer = narrator
