Here's another trick of Doctor Dementia to test your skills... Can you meet this challenge?



We've seen this with the letters out of order, but this is the first time we've seen it with letters and numbers. Good example of a Brain Study: If you can read this OUT LOUD you have a strong mind.
And better than that: Alzheimer's is a long long way down the road before it ever gets anywhere near you.

To my 'selected' strange-minded friends: If you can read the following paragraph, forward it on to your friends with 'yes' in the subject line. Only great minds can read this. This is weird, but interesting!



If you can raed this, you have a sgtrane mnid, too.



Can you raed this? Olny 55 people out of 100 can.



I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it whotuit a pboerlm. This is bcuseaethe huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! If you can raed this, go ahead and smile.

Most of the people I work with should still be writing with crayons.
I am pretty sure most of them also eat paste.

I started my illustrious career in the printing industry. You have to learn to read backwards pretty quickly in that job.

Cool post, thanks for sharing!

Slightly off topic, but,, I heard or read somewhere that messangers in WW2 carried messages that were written in a code simular to that post. Confused the bad guys? Any one else ever hear this? Maybe its BS but could you Imagine a German who barley speaks english try to read that?

For me it is that bloody anniversary. But it isn't that bad, she forgot about it too the one year. We are sitting there on lets say friday and she turns and goes "do you know what monday was?". I think for a minute and say "our anniversary?". She says "yeah, I forgot too".

I don't have a problem with misspelled words. If it wasn't for spell check I am horrible which is more than likely the reason I had no problem reading any of that. However I hate acronyms.

First two lines, no, but once I got thru line 4, then 1 and two were easy, along with the rest.

Read that one without difficulty. It's all about shapes and patterns. Most of us dont even look at the entire word when we read it anyhow.

I mostly use my smart phone on here and the spell check and auto correct can drive me bananas at times.

Looks like some kinda MIT math problem and we all know there's only three kind of people in the world. People who are good at math and people who aren't.

Pretty cool. I never tried to learn speed reading but i see how it could be done now. I noticed that for me at least, i could read through the mixed letter messages much smoother than when numbers are also used, but i could read the mixed no. and letters message too once i got started. It's amazing what the mind can do.

The late Stanley unwin was a master at using verbal gobbledegook and making it understandable.

Spell check is wrong half of the time. (no, I'm not an egotist?)

My puter keeps telling me MOULD is the wrong spelling.

Sure wish I could get Sister Mary Paul and her triangular ruler here to teach this young contraption proper spelling.:evil:

[QUOTE=Bad Water Bill;2873092]My puter keeps telling me MOULD is the wrong spelling. QUOTE

Yep, my infernal machine does the same.

When I need reassurance on the matter, I just look at a Lyman or Ideal box for the truth: "MOULD".

If it's been good enough for them over the last hundred years or more, that carries more weight for me than a bunch of electrons and a johnny-come-lately yuppie programmer who graduated high school last week.

Faster you move across it the easier it is to read.
I learned speed reading a loooong time ago, they used a machine
with a gap that would move across the text. Sometimes it helps
depending on the author's writing skill.

When I took my speed reading course I had to RUN from pyramid to pyramid.

Of course that was for my refresher course.

My Mom had alzheimer's. When she was being tested one of the questions was asking her to count back words from 100 by 7's. I asked what kind of a question that was and he told me that some one with alzheimer's can not count back words by 7.:holysheep !!!!! All I could think at the time was I'm screwed. My only hope now is that may be I'm just stupid.

If your spell checker doesn't know a word, right click on it and add it to the dictionary. Then it won't bug you about it again.

Also check your dictionary. Firefox in particular likes to default to British or Canadian English.
