Bible Puzzle
There are Thirty
books of the Bible in the following paragraph. Can you find
them all?
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 i on to some friends. One
friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his
john boat. Another friend studied it while playing his banjo.
Elaine Taylor a columnist 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 easy to spot. Thats a fact. Some people
however will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since
the books 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 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, wich featured this puzzle,
the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new sales 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 there 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 that books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without
thier 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. Rememeber, 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.
