Further Instructions | Bible Book? |
This is a most | |
remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman in an airplane seat pocket, on a flight | |
from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping him occupied for hours. | |
He enjoyed it so much, he passed it on.... One friend worked on this while fishing from his john boat. | |
Another friend studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine Taylor, a columist friend, was so intrigued by it she mentioned it | |
in her weekly newspaper column. Another friend judges | |
the job of solving this puzzle so involving, | |
she brews a cup of tea | |
to help her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy | |
to spot. That's a fact. Some people, however, will soon | |
find themselves in a jam, especially since | |
the book names are not necessarily capitalized. Truthfully, | |
from answers we get, we are forced | |
to admit it usually takes a minister or a scholar | |
to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that | |

something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the books in this paragraph. | |
During a recent fund raising event, which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new record. | |
The local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons | |
who reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen. As Daniel | |
Humana humbly puts it, ''The books are all right here in plain view | |
hidden from sight.'' Those able to find all of them will hear | |
great lamentations from those who | |
have to be shown. One revelation that may help is | |
books like Timothy | |
and Samuel may | |
occur without their numbers. Also, | |
keep in mind that punctuation and spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you | |
compete really well against those who claim to know the answers. | |
Remember, there is no need for a mad exodus, | |
there really are 30 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph waiting to be found.... | |
