A Puzzler...

Post by Gray » Wed Dec 21, 2011 1:56 pm

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly 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!

Gray Is it the use of the word unusual several time and the fact there are no paragraphs?

The letter E does not appear in the entire paragraphs. This is unusual because it is the most common used letter in the alphabet :P

Thank Gray, well In my frustration, (not wishing to be beaten ) I came up with a couple of other ideas, after taking a lot of time studying this puzzler :roll: :)
