    That's cool and I have seen it before. Basically, as long as the first and last letter of words 4 letters or longer remain unchanged, your mind can mentally 'reassemble' the in-between letters. It happens almost instantly for some people and the text remains quite readable.

    I didn't know some people couldn't do it though.

      It's impossible to verify exactly what the 45% of people actually refers to. For example, people who don't know english, can't read at all, are only new to the language, or people who are dyslexic or actually blind wouldn't be able to read that.

      As for those fluent in reading english, it should not be a problem. Still, it's quite amazing what the human mind is capable of. Makes you wonder how much potential we have locked up in there, just waiting to be used...

    This is fun, but there's no study that says that only 55% of people can do it. Everyone can do it.

      That's how some of my friends' texts look like... Hey, sometimes there are no vowels. And you're left wondering if "dn" is "done" or "don't".

  • Only 55%? - does dyslexia count? :rolleyes:

    I used this message in a presentation on communication about 8 years ago, and was actually surprised by the number of people in the room who did not get the significance...

    - Even after it was explained how the brain looked at the words and created them.

    I don't know if a great mind is necessary.

    Da Vinci could write backwards so you had to read his notes in a mirror...that takes some skewed great thinking IMHO...(but then, he was left handed)

    I like to quote everyone here but I can't for now. Using this phone sometimes makes it difficult for me to do so, having a small screen and all (and the fact that I have a big thumb makes it a pain in the ***. )

    The point of the OP is that, every one of us has a beautiful mind, waiting to be untapped. Some of us may not know it, but it is there. Just like Steve (seasoned) had said, everyone can read it, because every person has one.

    As for the 45% who can't, it's either they are blind or don't know English.

      I think alcohol contributes to how this study came about in the first place.

    I could read it (I would think most could), but I didn't understand the part about why you think alien disclosure is coming this year. There's not much time left in the year.

        If you read every third letter, convert it to a number with its corresponding place in the alphabet, then multiply it by six and divide by three twice, convert the numbers back to letters and then read it backwards it says US to disclose aliens are real in 2011.

        You didn't plan that? Nawwwww, I was spoofing everyone to see if people would go back and reread it to look for that and see what theyd' say.

    My God! Everyone can read this. When I read the first sentence I thought I had a strange, or great mind. However, I was disappointed to read the whole messed up text to find out that it wasn't something unusual.

    I was really happy at first!!! Now I know that I am same old Joe!
