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, and wives

How many were going to St. Ives?

Fuck bud you lose me after the man.

It's a trick question; the answer is 1, the person going to St. Ives. 2,801 are going the other way.

But if you're only counting the

Kits, cats, sacks, and wives

Wouldn't that be zero?

Or is that just a distraction in the riddle?

It's just a reiteration of some of the elements of the riddle rather than a comprehensive list.
