I am trying to solve a riddle for the Marlboro Outwit the West
contest. (I am sure you get a lot of these). I am stuck on the
question involving cattle
brands. I have to decipher four symbols. The first is the letter "Y"
with small horizontal "wings" sticking out from the top. The second is
an upside-down "V". The third is the letter "H" sitting on a curved
bar, and the last one lookes like an old skeleton key. I have been
looking up theses symbols for weeks now. The question requires you
to "take the first letters of each together to spell an object", then
send in a photo of "a couple of em". This leads me to beleive that the
answer is something that usually comes in pairs or in groups. Also,
the contest in general has a western theme, so I assume that the
answer would be somehow associated with the old west. Anything you can
do to help would be greatly
appreciated.
