39) Is less than one tenth of the animal's hide used to make "this" or "one item/unit of this"?

Regardless of the answer, the next question is for someone else.

In researching the answer to this, I was able to find a more authoritative source than before. It changes an answer from a previous question.

My more authoritative source says that this specific case is made from sheep not cow, general case can be either. All other answers are correct though.

To answer the current question:
39) Is less than one tenth of the animal's hide used to make "this" or "one item/unit of this"? No.

If you want to uncover some tasteless jokes, Google for the many way one can skin a cat. I won't post specific examples for fear of offending the easily offended.
