What's Wrong With This?

Postby Innari » Wed Nov 07, 2007 4:48 pm

Please don't google the answer.

It's a brain teaser.


This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

I got it. Very odd, but certainly not unheard of.

Hint: A couple authors have written entire novels using that unusual quirk. A difficult task, indeed.

I don't want to get anywhere near his end...
that would be SO wrong..

If you want to though, that's your problem.. (just remember to take pics, medical journals would pay for stuff like that)

New Brain Teaser:



A murderer is condemned to death. He must decide between 3 rooms as his way of death.

1. A room full of raging fires.
2. A room full of lions who haven't eaten for 3 years.
3. A room full of deadly assasins wielding loaded guns.

Which room is the safest for him to choose?

I'm going to go with the lions. What with them long dead due to starvation, and all. :D
