The pilot sees two islands up ahead, which are the two possible landing sites. One is in enemy territory (the flat field); the other is in friendly territory (the rough terrain).

So of course he would choose the rough terrain.

Does anybody agree with this scenario?

Interesting puzzle. They sure have asked a lot of questions. Sounds like they figured it out to me... Landmines are not where the grazing cattle are so therefore it would be safe to land there. That's why the pilot chose the rough terrain.

being that the plane has nothing on board to sense weapons, and the pilot can't see any, how do they know there aren't SAMs in the cattle field?

Or did I miss something?

Oceans, your theory makes sense. I was trying to figure out the military plane angle of it.

Actually, one question was whether or not the territories were in the same country. They are.

Perhaps one is occupied by hostile forces.

Cattle would not prevent mines from being on the rough terrain.

Cow aren't that smart to avoid the mine field!

I can't find the original puzzle (only the questions and discussion areas). Can anybody point the way?

I don't have any answers but I do have a question about Himalaya's post. How do cow's know there are no landmines???? I always thought they were pretty dumb. LOL

I think it's a helicopter, not a plane.

No, it's not a helicopter. That question was put to the host and the answer was NO.

The plane is a jet-propelled balloon. The "clear" spot is filled with short cactii. The (single) pilot knows if he lands in the clear spot, his bubble will get popped, so he prefers to splat in a cow patty.

nor, if there were land mines there would be "splattered" cow carcasses.

There answer posted by Roger was
Host, our answer is:

The pilot landed in the rough terrain, thinking (or knowing) the clear area may be mined and/or trapped. With live animals in the rough terrain, the pilot is more secure feeling thsi area is not trapped/mmined. In addition, the terrain might provide better cover for the pilot once down.
