Hey,

Here's the answer you need,

You, being the first of the whole riddle, was also making way to St. Ives. The second being the man. ( 2 people here ).

He had seven wives. (9)
Seven wives with 7 sacks. [2+(7×7)]
Seven sacks with 7 cats. [2+(7×7×7)]
Seven sacks with 7 kittens or kits. [2+(7×7×7×7)]

A total of 2403 were going to St. Ives.

Tricky questions have many cases right?

Second case may be that you can be the ONLY One who's going.

Hope it helps!
