HERD MENTALITY

by Dan Katz

Solution: OUTER SPACE

Each photo is of a cow from the Boston Cow Parade, an art installation from this past summer. If one places them on a map of Boston and Cambridge, the cows' positions will roughly resemble the array of points, the numbers of which provide an order. The first letters of the cows' names (see http://boston.cowparade.com) taken in map number order spell OUTER SPACE (which is, of course, where the cows disappeared to).

The cows, in the order pictured:

Anatomy of a Bionic Bovine - Faneuil Hall - 8

Pablo Picowso - Copley Square - 7

Ruphus - Stuart & Tremont - 5
