cool
good variation on the one mum told when I was little...2legs sat on 3 legs eating 1 leg(chicken drumstick).4legs(dog) stole 1 leg,2legs hit 4 legs with 3 legs. What's going on. It took us ages to figure it out.
That was awesome! Favorites for sure!
i like microniums version better...!!
amusing.. If there's one bad cow milking brain teaser, I haven't heard it!! hahaha
"i like microniums version better...!!"
agreed, but both puzzles are great

Definately one of my favorites! The hint was very good; it helped a lot but still took thought.
I dunno.
Nice one 'cept, didn't like the part when the farmer hit the cow with the stool. But it is just a teaser, right??
I was tinkin that four legs was a dog.. but I guess that still means I got it right ^_^
cool riddle, took some thinking tough
i also like microniums version better, but i guess both are good. i didn't figure it out, but i probably could've if i had given it more thought. the clue definitely helped.
Poor cow! Funny and creative though!
Mooooorvelous
microniums version was the one I remember from my Childcraft books. I read that one about 40 years ago, and loved it.
Thanks for the memories.......

A nice variation of an oldie.
Great job! Looks like the farmer was having a bad day!!!
I got it once I saw the Hint. Good one.
An oldy, but goody, heard in grade school
That farmer needs patience! Great Teaser!
How about a guy (2) in a bar sitting on a stool(3) next to another guy wearing crutches (4).
One of the crutches slips (1) and the irate guy (2) hits the other guy with crutches (4) with the stool (3).
Doesn't this meet the criteria?
Alternative answer from a bar hopper!

I'm with the others who are sympathizing with the CW ... but I did enjoy the teaser!!!
Good one - I had to look at the hint to get it!
good 1!
I never get these. Very good teaser.
I never would have gotten it, even looking at the hint. and I spent my summers as a youth on a farm
Well, that was about 30 seconds of thought that I will never get back. Either I am terrible at these type of teasers or it was a waste of web space. Thanks for sharing it though. Maybe it was just me.
I liked this. I was gonna LIE and say I got it, because I think that if I had been focusing, I would have gotten it! But, no cigar, no banana, Yes! I got no, banana, I got no, banana, today!!! Thanks, good one!
Raised on a farm. Even looked at the hint, still no idea But it made me think , and that is always good
Thinking and living are bound together:We think in order to know how to live and we learn what is true through living

This still IS very imaginative and quite fun to work out. I have heard different versions with different animals, but it does make you think...
Really Funny, but I don't get it.......
"micronium's" handle is micromum, not micronium.
haha! that was funny
That farmer better be careful.
Someone may call PETA on him.
And no, I am not being udder-ly
ridiculous!

No one has accounted for the CANE--one leg! Rework your story.
OH hum, kinda cute,I like PABLOs version .!!!!!!!
That's good, I like it.
I just couldn't get this one. Very good and clever.
Nice variation on a VERY old riddle:
Two legs sat upon three legs,
With one leg in his lap;
In comes four legs,
Runs away with one leg;
Up jumps two legs,
Catches up three legs,
Throws it after four legs,
And makes him bring back one leg.
One leg is a leg of mutton, two legs a man, three legs a stool, four legs a dog, and yes I do have sympathy for the poor hungry dog.

hahah!! good one!
Funny!
didn't have a clue good one
This one was too simple for me because at one time I was that two legged using a three legged to strike the four legged who had kicked the three legged out from under the two legged along with the bucket which had taken an arm and a leg to produce. My little hands were smaller than the job I was trying to master. Cute teaser tho.
lol, couldn't you have put an ending so the cow wouldn't get hurt?
very interesting
thank you for putting a spin on the teasers
I had no idea what it was.
