Can you answer my extremely difficult cat riddle (I bet not!)?

As I was walking to St Ives
I met a man with seven wives
Each wife was carrying seven sacks
And in each sack were seven cats
Each cat in his particulars
Has seven pairs of Nikon 7×40 binoculars
What is the combined magnification of all the binoculars put together?
672,280 is WAY too high
Virus Detected: you are wrong
Brown Hair, Blue Eyes: it’s not one of those lame trick questions
So far, Lauren is the closest
ahaha – your working’s completely wrong, but strangely you came quite close to the correct answer…
Danny is now very close, comparatively. The closest out of all of you, anyway.
Grub: no it doesn’t
Clue to all: the 40 has nothing to do with magnification. It refers to how much light is let in. You can ignore it…
I could answer but choose not too.
I could ALSO answer but I ALSO choose not too.
672,280.
672,280..
linear magnification= height of object x object distance from lens
since the lens are 7×40, the problems is easy.
7×40=280
taking reference to the number of binoculars, number of binoculars is (280+63)x7
lens size = number of lens x combined magnification
therefore, (7×40)=(280+63)x7 is the combined magnification.
Horray!
i solved the riddle!
one.
This is a mix of two riddles. One approach is that you were going to St Ives and met this group maybe coming from there or going elsewhere so there was only one going to St Ives.
The other version has the question of how many legs are on / in a bus carrying 7 adults each having 7 bags each having 7 cats each having 7 kittens to which the answer is 10990!
Only one person was going to St. Ives. YOU
Yes i can.
800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
Can you tell i couldnt give a s***?
does nikon even have a 7×40 binoculars ?
7×7x40= 1,960
96040?
Lol I actually have no idea …
(7×7)x(7×40)=13720
…idk i’m probably wrong i guessed
16121.
vote as best answer?
7 wives = 49 sacks
49 sacks = 343 cats
343 cats = 343 pairs of 7×40 binoculars
this equals a total magnification of=96,040
OMG! You were right. I can’t.
Easy. 7 to the 5th power. The combined magnification is 16,807x.
