let's see how smart you are...

[Christ4Ever]

You misnamed yourself. You condemn me for your rudeness, "Christ4Ever."
The reason for my riddle was to add some humor as well as perspective.
Instead, you sullied it from the start, claiming you are so important you can't waste your time here.
And then you come back again and again making a liar out of yourself to belittle me.

If you had not returned, YOU would have succeeded, but you did return, again and again, each time detracting from your own honesty and integrity. If there is an Ignore Function here, I will be sure to put you on it.

I clicked on your name and saw you are a Staff Member. Not a very welcoming one either. Shame on you.

If this is how staff members treat new visitors, I don't think I want to return.

Dear ChemEngrMBA,
Your choice to make on whether you stay or go.
The rest, oh, well. You can't make all of the people happy all of the time....

I'll make sure not to comment on anything you have written/posted, unless it is necessary as a Moderator.
With that being said, welcome to Talk Jesus, and please don't forget to read the Statement of Faith, for which you can access from the bottom any page where a link is located.

I sincerely hope that others here will not agitate you as it seems I have.

With the Love of Christ Jesus.

This is a learning experience. Since most people are too lazy to answer, and don't care to learn, I will provide the answer.

"Kits, cats, sacks wives, how many (of those) are going to St. Ives?"

None of them. Simple English interpretation.

One, the original one going to st ives.

 

[Christ4Ever]

One, the original one going to st ives.

He left out "of those", which would mean you could not include the speaker or the one going to St. Ives since it would not be included in the calculation.

Well he must have messed it up then because....

As I was walking to St. Ives
I met a man with seven wives.
Each wife had seven sacks.
Each sack had seven cats.
Each cat had seven kits.
Kits, cats, sacks wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?

Its as plain as days. And yet he got irritated at you because he messed it up in his delivery. Sensitive sort.

Dear Brother,
We give him time! Maybe, once he gets to know us better, he'll relax in the knowledge that we are Brethren in Christ Jesus!

With the riddle and all, I do not envy the man with seven wives, and all of them cats!!! Yikes!

With the Love of Christ Jesus.
