Mind Trap #247 - Unusual Paragraph

Question:

This is a most unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It look so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why? Study it, think about it, and you may find out. Try do it without coaching. If you work at it for a bit it will dawn on you. So jump to it and try your skills at figuring it out. Good Luck - dont blow your cool!

You can ask yes/no question, not two in a row

It i at these forums? I didn;t know what to search for?

No, I don't believe it was here. I'm not sure where it was.

Unless it was here, and it came up in the "puzzle of the day" thing on igoogle.

Afraid so - it's here or here.

It's a good one though.

Is 'e' the only letter that works for this type of puzzle? How long a paragraph could be written without using 'a' and would it be much more obvious?

@ADMIN: Feel free to close this thread, it is a repeat!

Second post down. It's not as long, but it just goes to show.

How about the letter s? or other common ones? how long could you write for?

It's the common vowels that are hard. You could probably write a whole book without using a particular consonant. IMHO.

In that case how far would you get with no vowels? lol!

reminds me of txt ( sms on cell phones) language

Every word in english contains at least one vowel if you include y as a vowel. If you don't, the only words you have are stuff like: fly, sky & why

[Guest]

what about rhythm?

Thats great!

I used to know a whole lot of "q" words with no "u", back when I used to play scrabble. Forgotten them all now

[Guest]

Hi - I am new to this, so I'm not sure that I should post this - but is it unusual because there is no "e" in the paragraph?

[Guest]

The letter 'e' doesn't appear?
