Guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 You had me laughing good with that solution. So simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I think this would also work..! jus move 1 stick and reverse the image (rotate it to 180 degree.) now the cow is looking opposite direction to the direction it was looking before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie1ja Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 If you could reverse image, then why moving any matches ... Unfortunately, reversing is not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 yes cows can turn their faces!!! they have necks. and longer ones, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I doubt I would have ever gotten this answer on my own, but I thought it was a pretty good puzzle. Think about the cow more in three dimensions than two. Now imagine she is aligned so that her tail is further away from you than her head. So, then in the first picture, she has her head turned and is looking towards your left. In the second picture, she simply turns her head the other way and is now looking towards your right. In two dimensions you think of the cow as facing left and try to solve the puzzle by making her face right, but that is the twist in the puzzle.

You move one stick and then rotate the picture 180. It fits with the usual rules of these logic puzzles and you get the same picture just looking right instead of left.

Guest Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 although considering that cow cant do that completely in real life, this is a pretty good answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I instantly thought that the answer was to move the two head matches, but then thought, No, that CAN'T be right it's too easy! Ha Ha jokes on me! lori :-} smile, it makes people wonder what you're up too ;-} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 i see one problem, cows don't have horns. therefore you're all wrong (my first post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 i see one problem, cows don't have horns. therefore you're all wrong (my first post) The American Heritage dictionary allows for male bovines to correctly be called cows.

Guest Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 i see one problem, cows don't have horns. therefore you're all wrong (my first post) A horn is a hollow, pointed projection of the skin of various animals, consisting mainly of keratin as well as other proteins. True horns are found only among the ruminant artiodactyls, in the families Antilocapridae (pronghorn) and Bovidae (cows, buffalo, yaks, goats, antelope etc.). Those animals have one or two pairs of horns, which usually have a spiral shape. Cows have horns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Most female dairy cows have their horns removed for their own safety and ease of management during milking. Very few naturally are hornless (known as polled cattle), which comes from a recessive gene, therefore fairly rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 At first I though it was a trick question because I thought only bulls have horns and cows do not. But I learned that cows can have horns. And I didnt even bother trying to figure out the puzzle because I thought it was a trick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 That was so simple it made me laugh when I looked at the spoiler (hehe). I was looking for a way to make the whole cow move around so that its whole body was facing the other way, but it was actually much more simple than that! Also, could somebody tell me how to get those signatures? I WANT ONE! XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
