Re: Cow Bull 1
Jims is right!
Guess 11 is the right one!
Some times a lapse of concentration occurs....and you give a wrong reply.
Guss 5 should have been replied : 1 Bull, 2 Cows....
Too sorry.....
The game, if played perfectly, is too interesting and can have only one proper solution.
So, the winner is
Jims and Mathsyperson for detecting the flaw.
All this possible because of the strong foundation laid by justlookingforthemoment.
Any takers for Cow Bull 2?
