There would have to be still six cows, because the number didn't
change, since two died and were consequently replaced by two cows
on the same day. Here's how the logic should play out:
You start with six cows. Two die of that six, leaving you with
only four cows. However, two more cows "came" (or were bought) the
same day that the initial two passed on, bringing the number back
up to six.
If you want to do it by numbers, then it would go like this: 6 -
2 + 2 = 6.
