This came from a friend of mine who is 75, a few years ahead of me.


"Here's a trick of Doctor Dementia to test your skills....

I've seen this with the letters out of order, but this is the first time I've seen it with 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.

If you can read this, you have a strange mind, too.

Can you read this? Only 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 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 ! "

My mind must still be functioning well as I can read it easily. How about you?

4. I read both without a problem, and the...

explanation in the second one starts to explain in with why I occasionally read properly written text wrongly.



(edit spelling)

[orleans]

5. piece of cake. it made me wonder why i'm painstakingly editing something.

what's the point as long as the first & last letters are in place?

[Xyzse]

6. I don't believe these little tests.

They are so easy to read.

[HarveyDarkey]

7. Don't, they're BS

It's more like 95% can read them, not 55%.

There are two kinds of statistics, the kind you look up and the kind you make up.

13. Emperical studies have proved that 68.27% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

[pangaia]

16. Agreed, it's just for fun.

Also reminds me i don't have to go back and check for typse

[Art_from_Ark]

8. I could read that without any problem

これも問題なく読めます。

[Jim Lane]

9. Isn't there a typo in the second one?

It seems to me that "rscheearch" is supposed to be read as "research" but it has an extra "ch". Or is there a word that I'm overlooking that anagrams to "rscheearch" and fits this context?

[Callmecrazy]

10. I think you're right...

good catch.

[LynneSin]

15. I can read it and I refuse to text too

[pangaia]

17. I dont text either because i have a dumb phone that is nt querty7..

[tavalon]

18. Easy peasy

I wonder if my dyslexia might play a part. Or not.
