Question

If you came up with 3, can't you see that mathematics is a religion?

Well, three cows would be left alive and two cows would become two spirits !!!

MamaBear · Answer

No, no, no. You will (soon) still have 5 cows. Two of the young bulls were butchered for meat, but the cows are pregnant again, and will be giving birth VERY soon. 

In fact, depending on the cow, you could have 6 or 7 cows, if one or both of them is having twins!

Take care of your little herd.

Well, you just said how many "r" left, you didn't say wheter they were living or dead.  So if the question is how many living cows are left, then yes, the answer is 3.  But you weren't specific, so you could be wrong and just screwed up your own religion.  Good job.

Kalia · Answer

3 living cows + 2 dead cows = 5 cows

Deirdre H · Answer

I came up with 5. 3 alive and 2 dead still equals 5. I suppose if I ate the two dead ones, I'd have 3 left.

Is that what new math is all about?

Jimmy Dean · Answer

Three alive.
Two dead.
