Bible Puzzle See if you can find all 30 books of the Bible in this paragraph. There are 30 books of the Bible in this paragraph. Can you find them? 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 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 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 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 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 there 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.
