My son-in-law sent me this email so I thought I'd share it with you.

Good example of a Brain Study: If you can read this you have a strong mind:

This Mess goes to prove how our minds can do amazing things in the begining it was hard but now, on this line your mind is reading it aumaticly without you even thinking about it, be proud only certain people can read this, please forward if you can read this.

[Old_Geezer]

Unsure in what way this proves I have a strong mind. On the contrary it suggests my mind isn't looking at the detail and can read things in the patterns that aren't really there. Still maybe the secret service can use that sort of skill to break cyphers and stuff, I'll send them my CV.

:-) OG.

[rowanwitch]

its like the one where the first and last letters are in the right places and all te others in the words are jumbled that is easy to read too. its all about patterns

[China Doll]

There's loads of things like this. I think it's related to the fact that our brain looks at a whole word rather than the individual letters or some such thing. I recall someone explaining it to me once. I don't think it's anything to do with a strong mind alas :-/

[Psybbo]

Just like reading our replies on AB

[missprim]

MissPrim will not be selecting a Best Answer.

[mickrog]

makes me think i am Russell Crowe in the film Beasutifull mind.....lol

[China Doll]

<<< Thinks Miss prim should select my answer as best answer as it's probably got no chance of being the best answer at any other time... thinks missprim is a spoil sport if she doesn't.... ;oP

[missprim]

Sorry to dissappoint China Doll but this Best Answer thing goes against my religion:-)

[vulcan]

This is one of those rowanwitch mentioned.


Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

[parkie]

Both my wife and I were able to read it after the first word or two. Easier than we thought at first glance.

[missprim]

I've seen that one before vulcan but I hadn't seen one with numbers and letters before.

[Ann]

Proves I'm not senile - YET! ;)
Very good thanks missprim x

[emmie]

i read through that no problem.

[Connemmara]

figuratively speaking from Connemmara

[starone]

I have seen this before and read it right away with no problem. I think most people will be able to - something about just having to recognise a couple of letters and your brain fills in the rest. Why are you not joining in the fun and picking a best answer?
