View Full Version : Unusual Paragraph
Just for fun and to get your minds thinking :D
This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is 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!
First person to figure this out will get karma (it's not a lot, I know :)) PLEASE NO CHEATING!! Don't go looking online for the answer.. that's not fair! This is so simple once figured out lol
Good Luck!

Nerdy answer right here!
Well, I learned in English that "e" is the most commonly used letter in the alphabet, but this paragraph doesn't have an "e" in it at all. Is that it? :p
Yup :D You got it right! :clap: Good for you paying attention in English class
That was fast lol hmm I may have to make a habit of this.. it's fun!

Ok...
A truck driver is going the wrong way down a one way street. A police officer sees this yet does not stop. Why?

The dude was walking perhaps? Though you don't see many truckdrivers walking, so it could be that he's in England, as Stacey said, but I'm sticking with walking. :p
Right again Brandon! Jeez you're good... I'll have to come up with a really good one....

I'll have a think on that one; it's hard.
Just to mention something too, we go the correct way along the road, you're going the wrong way :D

I'm stuck on the 'tw' part :S I think I know what it is.. I can figure out what the letters stand for but I don't know what the pattern is

Hehehhee i like this thread!
Post more quizzing things.
Not sure if anyone knows this but can i post something?
A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?
I think it's easy.
I can't answer that one because I seen it while I was looking for more to post :D It is pretty easy!

My juvenile mind can not comprehend such riddles! :D
lol I want to post more but don't know if there's some cheaters out there who will just look them up and find the answers!
(Phew! Happy I didn't have to use the letter that comes between F and H lol millet stuck under the key and can't take it out.. Just a heads up if my posts look a little crazy!)

Don't worry.
i don't think anyone here will try and do this.
I like this forum and wouldn't cheat :D
Even though it's all virtual.
Still wouldn't do it even though i can't possibly figure it out.

What is broken every time it's spoken?
Food can help me survive, but water will kill me. What am I?
I actually don't know the answer to that one ^ but when someone says it should make sense enough to be the actual answer :p
There's actually two possible answers for this one.
I know these too! This is fun lol We need more participants

Ah geez a ant fly thingy!
This is a Riddle from when I was in 4th or 5th grade, wording may be off but I'll do my best.
There are two contries at war. A woman and her child want to get to CountryB, therefore leaving CountryA. But she needs a passport to get accross the border. If she does not have a passport then the Gaurds will send her back to her country. There is a large river dividing them and the only way to get accross is to take the bridge. It takes 10 minutes to cross the bridge while running. There is a Gaurd house in the middle of the bridge, and the gaurd comes out every 5 minutes to check to see what is going on. How does she get from CountryB to CountryA without getting stopped/caught?

I have no idea about the one with the woman and husband. I'll keep thinking.
Up and down without moving is the carpet I think.
I don't know that last one either.
We had another riddles thread a while back, but it just sort of stopped. I love riddles lol.
Up and down without moving is the carpet I think.
not carpet either :p

Was my stairs statement to the one going up and down but not moving the correct answer? I'm confused :s
I didn't even see you answer that :o but yes you're right!
