its a scientific theory, That there are NO true herbavores in nature, farmers know to never keep chickens near horses, as they will Actively try to eat the chicks and sometimes even the addult chickens, giraphs have been seen eating the bones and meat of carcases, deer eat birds like popcorn chicken and the birds dont even react or fly away!
Cows will eat anything. I have a lovely milk cow that is the sweetest lady ever but she chomped down a baby rabbit a few weeks ago like it was the best thing ever.
OQ: "There are 30 cows in a field 28 chickens. How many didn't?" Actual question: "There are 30 cows in a field, 20 ate chickens. How many didn't eat chickens?" It's one of those number puns, like the classic: "why was 6 afraid of 7? cause 7 8 (ate) 9".
The joke is thirty cows ATE 20 chickens. How many didn‘t? 28 sounds like 20 ate Which means 30 Cows ate 20 chickens, therefore 10 cows didn‘t do it. The mother did say the right answer.
this should be the real answer, because the onscreen-text does state it in that way. its not a hearing trick for the audience, if its deliberately written out differently for us.
Cows will eat pretty much anything if they're hungry enough and it's not poisonous. A cow will eat ground beef if you're crazy enough to give it to them.
It's a play on how words sound. It's not the number twenty eight, it's twenty ate. So the riddle is actually thirty cows in the field, twenty ate chickens leaving the ten who didn't eat a chicken. It took me flipping ages to work it out and now I'm kicking myself for not getting it earlier.
It's just a complicated version of the old joke dealing with the words eight and ate sounding the same. The older one is "Why is six afraid of seven? Because seven ate nine. (Because seven,eight,nine.) Frankly the older one is better than this one because it's less convoluted and easier to figure out without the long exposition.
