I wonder if there's anywhere in the world that has chequer cabs? — Strawberry, Jan 09 '17 at 10:48
@Strawberry I googled it and it seems there was at least one manufacturer. — Eleftheria Chatziargyriou, Jan 09 '17 at 13:08
Filing for bankruptcy in 2009 rather emphasises the 'was' part of that sentence ;-) — Strawberry, Jan 09 '17 at 13:13

Guessing 1 -

it is moonlight because cow makes sound moo- and new line 'n'(\n)and then light from bulb.As bulb is in below line of cow.

2 might also be -

EXIT - taXI is covering the letter "XI" and it is moving out.

3 might be -

Line of control .

Moo 'n' light ? – Neil W Jan 08 '17 at 14:50
is 1) correct ? i simply guessed..@Ria what about 'n' – Amruth A Jan 08 '17 at 14:50
@BeastlyGerbil 2 correct .. – Amruth A Jan 08 '17 at 14:53
@BeastlyGerbil Sorry, you are right, I didn't notice. In this case which answer should I accept? – Eleftheria Chatziargyriou Jan 08 '17 at 15:39

@Ria For full clarity, I suggest leaving a comment on each answer to say exactly which ones are right (I almost downvoted your question because I thought EXIT was the intended answer for #2, but CABINET is much better). Then accept whichever you like :-) – Rand al'Thor Jan 08 '17 at 15:59

@Ria I can also create a communtiy wiki which credits each solver, and no one gets the accept then (but you can accept the answer still). I've added the answer – Beastly Gerbil Jan 08 '17 at 16:07
