Re: yaks and bunnies
Is the yak Himalayan?
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: yaks and bunnies
I was thinking that as well. Here's another solution that's also kind of cheaty:

Re: yaks and bunnies

Re: yaks and bunnies
yes i know it is very strange and odd. i got that from this years MAO state convention(Louisiana) and i thought it was kinda weird. so i wanted to post it here to see if the puzzle was just retarded or if it was possible for some one to get it.
