Front:

Quote:
It's not very often that I visit the desert. However, the one time I decide to go, lo and behold, I get lost! By some sheer stroke of luck, I come across an old wooden sign in the ground, with some very odd symbols drawn on it. Attached is a piece of tatty old paper which reads: "To civilisation, head this way'.

Which way should I head?

Cows. Make. Ice. Cream.
Cows. On. The. Green.

[TUNE]
If you want some ice cream,
Come to the cows on the green,
They are very smart on the green,
The cows that make ice cream.

[CHORUS]
Cows that do arithmetic!
Cows that make ytou drool and lick!
Greatest cows ther ever were!
Tastes so good you must concur!

Magic cows that make ice cream!
Smarter than you've ever seen!
Cows that bring you all the fun!
Cows that are the number one!

Trouble is I've had about four cards that are real head slappers, well more like cricket bat round the head slappers. It's just so frustrating and that little moment of joy at actually solving the card soon gives way to despair at the length of time it's taken Mad

Well I've not got enough cards for that, only got my first 2 packs today as a gift from someone I helped out Very Happy (Thanks Atys Smile ) And not that many reds.

 		My thought process in solving this card:

Dang it, I can't put these pieces together in my head.
I'll have to make seven paper cutouts and try to put them together.
There's no way in the world this is a red card if I have to go through all this.
These pieces do not really together into an arrow or a letter.
Hey theres grain in te pieces, that could provide a clue.
Maybe if I just make the grain horizontal to look at it better....
............
God dammit.


And its true: I too can not fail to see the answer now.
