A farmer on a city-bound train noticed the man next to him behaving quite strangely: glancing quickly out of the window, muttering to himself, then glancing again.  Overcome with curiosity, he asked the man what he was doing.  The man replied, “I’m a lightning calculator.  I can count anything at lightning speed.  Just for fun, I’m counting the number of things that catch my eye.  I never make a mistake.”

The farmer marveled at his ability but, at the same time, feeling dubious about the credibility of the story, couldn’t resist the temptation to witness this ability with his own eyes.  He began, “In a few minutes, we’re going to pass my pasture. I know the exact number of cows grazing there ? would you care …?” The man quickly surmised his intention and willingly agreed to be put to the test.

As the train rushed past the pasture, he gave one glance at the cows and announced, “157.”  Amazing,” exclaimed the farmer. “How did you do it?” It’s easy,” replied the calculator. “All I did was count the cows’ teats and divide by four.”

For the calculator, just counting the number of cows was a piece of cake, as he did that kind of thing for fun every day.  So, to make the test a little more challenging, he counted the cows’ teats and divided by four.
