As I was going to St. Ives I met a man with seven wives. Each wife had 7 sacks, each sack had 7 cats, each cat had 7 kits. Kits, cats, sacks, wives; how many were going to St. Ives?

This is a stupid riddle, because maybe they were walking in the same direction. I'd expect the guy with all the wives and cats to be making slower progress, you know?
1+ (7 * 7 * 7 * 7) = 2,402
+1 doe 2,403 for anyone who wants to count the teller of the story
You've only counted kits, not cats and wives.

We need a player for every note in the score(tied notes can be played by a single musician). On the conductor's downstroke everyone plays their note. Every note of the 9th played simultaneously. I want to hear this, but I don't think that my poor old computer would function if I opened that many individual instruments in Reason.

If that's not how it works then why is his 3rd symphony three times as long as his 1st?
