The consensus of our family is that the horse's name was Steamboat.

Correct, and I have only seen one referance to it after 5 months of stumper research. What else do you all discuss at the breakfast table?

New question: If you take count of all the feet and tails in a minimal sized flink, add them together, then divide by 4, the remaining number is ____? Yes, the word is flink.

I don't think the word is in your dictionary and remember that search engines are not used to find answers, I cannot compete with 3,000,000,000 pages of info.

We'll start this with a wild guess, how about 1.25 or 1 1/4 Can't wait to here what a flink is! And Mitch, I love these stumpers. Polly

Flink is a collective noun.

Its after 4:00, I will tell you that flink is a specified number of critters.~

A flink is a grouping of cows (minimum of 12), so if I did my math right (!) the answer is 15??

THANKS Mitch - these are great! ;)

A group of cows in all my born days I never heard them called that---- & mind ya I have heard/ a herd of cows called many things in my days!!!!!!!ha! Sonda

I believe it is an Irish term as in "Donch ye be aplacen' yur palms on me flink, laddy"!

-- mitch hearn (moopups@citlink.net), March 18, 2002.

Hey Mitch - it is also a group (at least 12) of cows. Is there more than one meaning for this word?? Maybe! ;)
