Seen this the other day, try and work it out.

A field has 30 cows in it and 28 sheep.

Question. How many didn't?

Hint: read it slow

19 Jul 2015 22:14:48
Hint 2 put the numbers in letter form👌

19 Jul 2015 22:57:21
Ten. This Mensa website is being hijacked by some kind of football type chat professor!🍀😜

19 Jul 2015 23:18:35
Yeah Jim the kind who can't spell 28😁

20 Jul 2015 00:11:02
10 of them didn't eat sheep!!

{Ed007's Note - That's just (swear) awful!!}

20 Jul 2015 06:32:21
It's not meant to be written down, It works better if you just say it.

20 Jul 2015 12:52:42
It was a second hint Costa twenty-ate

20 Jul 2015 15:47:06
Jim,I am trying to help you here,I saw it on cocial media the other day and it comes across better just saying it,try it.

20 Jul 2015 17:19:43
Do you not realise I was giving an extra Hint as I knew the answer. I don't know if your on the puzzle/trivia council but there is more than 1 way to work it out (speech and writing)

20 Jul 2015 18:10:09
Jim,Jim,Jim.I've had enough of this carp.I am not on any puzzle council,I only pointed out the puzzle comes across better verbally. Now I don't really care how many cows,sheep or dogs are in the field,I don't even care if the sheep ate the cows,or if the sheep ate the farmer and his wife,or if the sheep ate the farmers f@$&in dug,give it a rest.

20 Jul 2015 19:38:27
Not sure if your at the wind up or an idiot I'll guess the latter as your the one who's tried to be a smart arse . Has it ever crossed your mind that not all people could solve it with a verbal hint possibly and that an additional clue may have helped to solve it. Remember this site and cocoas media as you call it mainly relies on the written word. Carp carp carp 😀

And some of you complain about my jokes!

19 Jul 2015 16:40:51
Celtic will not sign another player this window. I'd bet my left Baw.

19 Jul 2015 16:59:43
Why don't you make it each way and bet them both.

19 Jul 2015 17:02:17
I'll take that bet mate, care to put a double on and make it your right one too! I reckon a left back will be signed.

Well you would be an idiot then!VVD is sure to go and he will need a replacement!

19 Jul 2015 19:07:58
"Realistic" If you lose your bet does that mean you'd be a BAWBAG.

19 Jul 2015 21:00:26
So funny that is what you call friendly banter

19 Jul 2015 09:19:27
Well we knew the media would line up against Ciftci when he signed for us, but how blatantly biased is the story in today's Sunday papers "McCallister to take on might of Celtic's legal team on his own" yes a poor wee guy takng on a big nasty club Celtic (in other words come on SFA ban Ciftci)

19 Jul 2015 12:37:00
That's your interpretation Tim with a large dose of paranoia on top. Having seen the pictures of cifti and the bite mark that was left do you think he's innocent? Or were the photos doctored after he signed for us

19 Jul 2015 12:55:18
Still staggers me how these cases don't go to a court of law nevermind Hampden. If such a purported incident happened on your local high street?

19 Jul 2015 14:07:47
It is got feek all to do with US! It happened in a Utd! STRIP!

Although he will miss a chunk of games for us (am thinking six btw!)

Your so right JimTim my view of this is different MUCH different to the Griffiths & Tonev incidents ( NOT that am saying they are right!)

But for me it's the auld school adage "sticks n stones will break your bones but NAMES. " it is unpalatable in modern day times and not acceptable before a ask Paradisewon for a "len" of his tin hat lol but you get over it!

But for fk sake when you start to BITE someone it is a whole new ball game for me! A was looking a bit more into the Ciftci incident Ed and a came across the other incident where he was "supposed" to have throttled a linesman ( a wonder if that will get flagged up by the "beaks" )

Nothing against Ciftci (who a don't think is that great!)but STILL cannot understand why the custodians of our club moved for him with this hanging over him!

19 Jul 2015 14:48:19
I hope your being sarcastic Timalloy, I really really do. If not your a very paranoid person. IF ciftci has bit the lad (from the video the lads reaction looks genuine) then he should be given at least a 10 game ban in my opinion. This sort of behaviour has no place in the game.

19 Jul 2015 15:05:01
Jamiebhoy they moved for him because he's out the bargain basement! Just like the other half dozen strikers before him! I said it before we signed that we shouldn't have went near the guy! Now say we griffiths gets injured for a couple of months and this guy gets hit with an 8 game ban! Where does that leave us? With one striker(scepovic) who couldn't even get on the park last night when everybody else got a run out! Really does make u wonder what they were thinkin honestly! If they wanted some bargain in Scotland why not go for Rooney! Nearly 30 goals last season and his discipline can't be called into question! Now personally I don't rate either of them,but if your lookin at bargain basement then I know who I would have went for! I've said it before and I'll say it again! If we go with that strike force after the window then we'll struggle! Really hope I'm proved wrong! But I don't think so.

19 Jul 2015 17:33:05
Dh88, I agree with you re Rooney over Ciftci I seen on the Sevco page they wanted him and they asked there Ed (039) a think he is? how much it would take to get Rooney and said a half a mill , there Ed fired back at the time they could get him for £150k ffs so what does that make Ciftci really worth?

That Dundee Utd chairman ain't daft mate he must have been thinking that NO ONE would come in for Ciftci given his pending ban and the time left on his deal IMO , he gets a ban that sits him out till Oct ish he ain't match fit till what Xmas? we should have signed him then on a pre-contract and for me he a much different/ no pressure signing and for me a different prospect / less expectations

As a said at the time if we stuffed them for GMS & Armstrong they got there own back on us with Ciftci just my opinion (y)

19 Jul 2015 18:45:56
Totally agree Jamie! Why pay 1.5 million for a guy who's facing a lengthy ban and u could sign him in January on a pre contract or for a hell of a lot less than 1.5 million! Just makes no sense! I for one hope I'm proved wrong,but I just get the feelin we'll regret it if we don't bring in another striker! And another left back while we're at it! Lol

19 Jul 2015 19:14:11
Jamiebhoy you are not far off the mark. What staggers me are comments from timalloy? Now Cifti is a Celtic player it seems that the media is against him? It looks to me like he bit the guy so whether he is a Celtic or Barcelona player he is going to get banned. Remember Suarez? Is he good enough for Celtic? Apart from Griffiths he is the best we have! I don't think either are good enough and I believe we will struggle to qualify for group stages. Can see a small improvement from this time last year but still waiting for this promise of fast free flowing football. It's 2 transfer windows down the line. The old players have been sold it released. RD has now brought in what he feels he needs. Let's see.

Jamie re ciftci and the linesman incident. Now that he is a Celtic player it will be flagged up. Linesman are always quick to throw up their flag where celtic are concerned

With a ban likely, ciftci signing doesn't make sense unless they see potential in scepovic and regard LG as the man with the jersey. But why then start ciftci in qualifier? I actually thought that decision was a shocker. Did LG not merit a starting place? What would that have done for morale?

RD team selections sometimes leave me scratching my head. He almost beckons controversy and criticism I think. I am a little bit " mild " on our messiah at this minute

I will be in a minority.

I don't even put the tin hat on these days as I never have it off!

20 Jul 2015 00:19:43
the reason they bought Ciftci,is because he is a talent,this is the way of the modern football,some people have talent and they also have behaviourial problems,but not all unfortunately Ciftci falls in to the problem side but not by much,the other side is people of lesser talent get over hyped by the press and the gullible amongst the Celtic support,of who there is many,fall for these false gods,and there is much gnawing and gnashing of teeth when these european 'superstars' are not signed by the club,i say verily to unto you.

20 Jul 2015 07:45:18
To be fair I can see why we went for him, and why he started against Stjarnan. Don't think he's the quality we were wanting, yet, but it's the 'type' of player he is. He's capable of hassling defenders and holding the ball. His link up play at times looked very promising. I think LG is a better finisher but I can see NC making more chances for himself and the team. Needs to work on putting them away.
