The classic game of logic, Bulls and Cows. This time, with four-letter words. The computer plays a pretty good game but can be beaten with a little effort! In fact, the computer is at a distinct disadvantage as it avoids words that are not well established, rarely used or obscene.
A retiring farmer in preparation for selling
his land, needed to rid his farm of animals. So he went to every
house
in his town.
To the houses where the man is the boss, he
gave a horse. To the houses
where the woman is the boss, a chicken
was given.
He got toward the end of the street and saw a couple
outside gardening.
"Who's the boss around here?" he asked.
"I am." said the man.
"I have a black horse and a brown
horse," the farmer said, "which
one would you like?"
The man
thought for a minute and said, "The black one."
"No, no, no, get
the brown one." the man's wife said.
"Here's your chicken."
said the farmer.
