I am a farmer who raise ducks and cows. The animals have a total of 9 heads and 26 feet. How many ducks and cows do I have?

I am a girl who picks on the QofD. I have two hands, two feed, a head, a set of nunchuks, and some brass knuckles. For the purposes of this question, we'll leave out my well-armed midget assassin sidekick. Which one is going to be the first to make contact with your body? Bonus question: Will it leave a mark?

AYFKM? They're doing story problems now?

Keep your eyes peeled. The trains are due to be leaving Chicago and Phoenix any time now.

Answer:
Your two hands will be the first things to make contact with his/her body. They will rip his/her heart out and no --- they will not leave a mark; you are that good.

Q1. I have 1 duck and 2 cows, but live near an extremely poorly-shielded nuclear reprocessing plant.

Is the train from Phoenix going to Chicago? Because we don't have passenger service here anymore. If it's a freight train, then the question still stands as it is. Just wanted clarification.

I'm glad someone acknowledges my greatness!

;-)

Dare I ask then how many heads, arms, and legs you have?

Party pooper!

I'm not a farmer. I don't raise ducks or cows. What I will raise is a loaded gun in the direction of the next person who asks me a mathematical question.

You are armed with a Kalashnikov AK-47 chambered in M1943 rounds. At zero degrees celsius and at sea level the AK has a muzzle velocity of 710 metres per second. The magazine holds 30 rounds, and the maximum rate of fire is specified at 800 rounds per minute.

If the next person who asks you a mathematical question is standing 10 metres from you, and begins to run away from you at a speed of 6mph on a flat surface 2000 metres above sea level, headed due north, with an ambient air temperature of 23 degrees celsius, how fast will you have to travel in order to catch up with him and beat him to death with the stock of your rifle in order to accomplish your task before he reaches the safety of the UN compound located at grid ref 45.1235N, 89.4289E?

I'm just really disturbed by The Blue Tie's farm management skills. He/she is asking us for help in identifying and taking inventory of his cows and ducks? Doesn't he/she know the difference between cows and ducks? It's not that hard, really.

Plus, The Blue Tie will want to keep the cows and ducks separate if it's a dairy operation. Ducks aren't exactly hygenic and the milk inspector won't like seeing ducks running around in places they shouldn't be (near the feeding areas, the milk house, etc.).

[this is good]

What if he's milking the ducks, and keeping the cows for eggs?

And what will the diameter of the largest concentration of blood spatter be?

Then everyone on his farm is going to be frustrated and annoyed.

You guys are the best.

I'm voting for the nunchucks, and they WILL leave a mark. A mark that says "Arbed Was Here, MOFOs".

Then FamilyH can take over the farm management.
