    As I was going to St. Ives,
    I met a man with seven wives.
    Each wife had seven sacks,
    Each sack had seven cats,
    Each cat had seven kits.

    This only makes sense if you only get to put up a new puzzle if you had the right answer.

    The right answer is 1. It's a pretty well-known puzzle though. You can read all about it here.

    So I got the right answer and the new puzzle is How many squares are there on a chess board?

    No Googling!

    67 - the squares on the board, the board itself and the 2 squares playing it ha ha - no offense intended to chess players it's just a guess.

    Nope. It's more than 67.

    There are sixty-four "1x1" squares and there's one "8x8" square [the board]. You just gotta find out how many "2x2" squares and "3x3" squares and so on there are and add them up.

    How can you make this sum add up by using just one stroke of the pen (obviously you'll need to write it down although I just checked there and you can do it on the keyboard)

    5+5+5 = 550
