The full riddle is:
How many people go to Kasoa A man going to Kasoa met a man at the bus stop with 7 wives each with 12 sons and 12 daughters Each daughter had 4 sons and 7 daughters and each son has 7 sons and 4 daughters Each grand daughter has 4 friends?
I think this is the old "A man was going to St. Ives" riddle; so the answer is 1.
I think the answer should be 2 since the bus driver should be added.
(Only the man and driver could fit on the bus because in total there would be 5721 people plus the driver.)
ITS SO very simple ppl, just concentrate on the question rather than open the calculator and start calculations.....see the question 1st line.. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/A_man_was_traveling_to_Kasoa_At_the_bus_stop_he_met_a_man_with_7_wifes_Each_wife_has_12_sons_and_12_daughters_Each_daughter_of_the_man%27s_wife_had_4_sons_and_7_daughters_Each_son_of_the_man%27s_wife_ha Anything after that is just noted as "AT THE BUS STOP HE MET" so he just me them... and the question is " The number is ppl who go to Kasoa". So now u all know he just met those ppl and they are not going anywhere so only you are going to Kasoa, so the answer is ONE. :-)
This sounds like a riddle I heard, but it was "St. Peter's" instead of "Kasoa." When I was traveling to Kasoa, I met a man with seven wives. Each wife had seven bags, each bag had seven cats, each cat had seven kits. How many were traveling to Kasoa? Answer: only one; me.
The correct spelling of the common word is chaos(disorder).The proper noun is Kaos, a fictional evil organization in the Get Smart TV series. This spelling is used for a number of other names, including a king of ancient Iberia (Mithridates I).
