Seven makes no sense.

With our decimal or base ten system as an undercurrent of my life I've always kind of thought so but scripture and fantasy etc seems to deem it quite sensible. I but then thought it a fitting digit to take a stab with.

The correct answer is four. One under each leg. then they can run off with cows.

Of course, that would have been my next guess...

.
Apparently there's three things discworld pixies love... Fighting, drinking and stealing cows.

We Aussies have 'Waltzing Matilda', an unofficial national anthem based on stealing a sheep, so it's logical that pixies would enjoy pilfering cows...

As an aside, only yesterday I was standing in the location where that true blue song was first ever performed.

or the last, as they put it: "An' snaflin' coobeastie"

An interesting way of putting it. Looks like I'd better get back into my first portion of Pratchett so that I can reach the point where I can read more!

Speaking of Pratchett, look what I have just discovered from Wikipedia :

The plot of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novel The Last Continent is set in an Australia-like locale and includes a parody on the events of "Waltzing Matilda".

Discworld has a connection to 'Waltzing Matilda'?! Fair dinkum, that'll do me!
