Very good, Mr. Tyler. You have solved the riddle... (= Now I have to
find another one...

The problem arises in the way it was written. It states that someone was
going to St. Ives, yet does not clarify on if the man, and wives, and
cats, and kits may have been going in that direction. At least, that's
how I see it. So, AFAIK, it has to be one.
