Brain Teasers

This was sent to me as an email so ignore the references to forwarding, etc. I found it interesting and thought I'd share. And yes and yes.
===============================================================

Try it. It's great fun.

If you can do this forward it on to friends and back to me with the word YES in the subject, but only if you can read this.

A Short Neurological Test

1- Find the C below..

Please do not use any cursor help.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

2- If you already found the C, now find the 6 below.

99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
99999999999999999999999999999999969999999999999
99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

3 - Now find the N below. It's a little more difficult.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

This is NOT a joke. If you were able to pass these 3 tests, you can cancel your annual visit to your neurologist. Your brain is great and you're far from having a close relationship with Alzheimer.

Congratulations!


eonvrye that can raed this rsaie your hnad.

To my 'selected' strange-minded friends:

If you can read the following paragraph, forward it on to your
friends and put 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 plepoe 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 bcuseae the 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 forwrad it

FORWARD ONLY IF YOU CAN READ IT
Forward it & put 'YES' in the Subject Line

Thank you for such a fun post. The ‘C’ and the ‘6’ stuck out like sore thumbs but I had to scan for the ‘N’. Not sure whether it is a measure of the state of your mind or if it is simply a matter of a trained eye. After being raised on Minkowski representations of spacetime and general relativity I guess I just have a nerdy mind. Which probably explains why I made some pretty calamitous character judgements when I first came on-line.

One word of caution though, don’t believe everything you hear that comes out of Cambridge university. Seriously, as well as the shape of words, how many words do we actually read? I suspect most the time I skim, reading only every fifth word.

Many thanks Jen I enjoy posts that force me to think.

I always like these. The paragraph is very easy for me as I am dyslexic and most with it only read the first and last and we make up the letters inbetween with what we think they are. It strange to read that quicker than it typed normally.

You mentioned the brain is working well, if you can see the letters. that's great, but after doing this, now I need glasses .

Thanks Jenny, lol.

Lisa said...

Nicky, that's not why you need glasses honey.
