A Riddle

Here's one from my childhood, and yes they had riddles back then:

As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives, each wife had seven cats, each cat had seven kits. Kits, cats man and wives, how many were going to St. Ives?

Pretty easy I know, but I always liked the sound of it.

I didn't take the time to see if anyone else has figured it out (though I'm sure someone has with all these pages!) but I believe it's triangle or heart?

A backwards 2 and 2 put together makes a fish (the tear drop shape and the tail is the bottom of the 2)

backwards 3 and 3=8 because you connect the lines...

7 and 7 would be an upside down triangle? :D

Correct. Said it was easy.

Here's another:

You have two coins that total 55 cents. One coin is not a 50 cent piece. What are the two coins?

Poor people have it

what is it ?

Supposedly like 5% of Harvard graduates got it right, but 97% of kindergarteners did.

I love riddles!

I think the hard one the answer is the man is married to her estranged twin sister, and by killing her sister she has the man to herself by pretending to be her twin.

How does he get all safely over the stream?

who goes on a trip with a fox, goose and a sack of corn lmfao?

Lol it's disturbing how many people got it "right".

The "correct" answer is she killed her sister in the hopes that the strange man would show up at the next funeral. So yes, so she could see him again.

When I answered this one for a job I said it must have been a crime of passion. She found out her sister was seeing the guy or something like that.

I dont really see how it shows the person has psychopathic/serial killer tendencies personally. Well i sorta do but i dont completely agree with it. To me this was simply a right brained, logical riddle. The woman met the man at her mothers funeral but forgot to get his number. To get his number she would have to recreate another scenario in which she would have the best chance of seeing him again. Killing another family member is the closest she could come to recreating that scenario to have a chance to meet the man again.
Just for poops and giggles i decided to ask my coworkers today what they thought the answer was while i waited to see what your correct solution was. All 4 are women. (yayaya what do you expect i work in the kitchen in a nursing home lol). They range from ages 31-40s/50s. The only one who came to the same conclusion as me, is who i consider to be the most right brained logical thinker like myself. She said "oh she probably killed her sister to meet the man at another funeral". The other 3 are more artsy and left brained. They all said they had no idea and they thought it was a stupid riddle lol. They came to the conclusion that the man had an affair with her sister and she was jealous so she just killed her lol.

read it clearly all the way though the answer is at the end...

I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champane bubble.
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?
