It goes a follows: There are seven houses; In each house there are seven cats; Each cat catches seven mice;

Each mouse would have eaten seven ears of corn; If sown, each ear of corn would have produced seven hekat of grain.

How many things are mentioned altogether? The answer is very ambiguous and could be one of 9 different answers. For more information about this riddle visit the Wikipedia page.
