I don't know how many times people have showed me stuff like that. This is most likely the 8th time. Still, it's pretty kickass.

Nope, I didn't get a single word, someone translated it for me...

I'd say more then 55% of people can do it. Of course you can most likely only do it on the languages that you are familiar with. I won't be able to do it with chinees, just like somebody who's not good at english might not be able to read the TC's post but they most likely will be able to read it if it was written in their own language. To be honest, I was kind of surprised that I could read TC's post pretty damn quickly.

Most people who spend time in forums were they have to read (sometimes decipher) thousands of lines of text every day should be able to read that...

If you would have gone out to the park or the beach and shown them that text the results would differ.

Almost everyone can read what it says on that message. Like the message itself points out, it doesn't matter the order in whith the letters are in the onlyy important thing is that the first and last letter are in the correct position.

Supposedly anybody can do it. I noticed that it's easier to read if you don't think too much but just say the first thing that comes into your mind.

I don't know anyone who have failed but dyslexia is a common thing... more common among people who don't read or wrte much. Also, I don't really believe that 55% number.

It's (finally, and quite unfortunately) dead now. I read my way through all of it in 3 nights, loved it, best thread I've ever seen here. But nothing creepedme out as much as your mirror stories/rituals, not even close. *shudders*

This.

I feel like OT is turning into a chain mail forum. I'm suprised he didn't say "If you can read this, send it to 10 people you know or you will die..."
