Yeah, seen this one already. It's rather fascinating that the mind is able to do that without us having to read each word over and rearrange the letters.

I always liked that one, pretty cool.

Did you guys ever see the one about the spinning dancer? Whether people see it spinning towards the right or the left, and if you can make it spin the other direction? I'll see if I can find it...

[vaptin]

Heh I could read it, not sure why 55 out of 100 makes me a great mind though.

I read quite a lot anyway, that probably has an effect

Right-on!

It really is amazing that I was able to read that perfectly. I wonder though if this ability is being "helped" by the increase in the amount of "text speak" we have to put up with these days?

Yeah I reckon so, or the amount of typos people make on the keyboard

I don't understand "text speak" at all but that passage was fine for me

The jumbled up letters in the passage have most of the letters that go missing when somebody uses "text speak".

i find it easy to read, i'd like to know if anyone can't read it fluidly 55/100 isn't really panning out here.

Maybe it would be more difficult if more "jargon" words were muddled up, or just generally long words and less frequently used words.

The only word I had to read over twice was Bud's use of "emiaeld" for email, probably because I'm use to seeing it as E-mail.

I would liek to see it done in a study, of what age groups, the amount each group uses the internet/computers/texting of who can read it.
Because I defo reckon people (mainly youngsters nowadays) will easilly read it knowing typos they make on the pc and texting (as will us lot - doing this stuff) and older people who only read books, wont cope so well.
