    A friend sent this to me today:


    THIS DROVE ME CRAZY!! Even more than I already AM! Smile!!

    Find the error, its impossible


    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20


    80% of UCDS students could not find the error above!


    Forward this to at least 5 people with the title 'Find the error, its impossible', and when you click 'Send', the answer will be right in front of your eyes!

    I didn't try sending it but I do see there's no apostrophe in the word "its." To an Education/English major, that's a glaring error!

    Miz: You got it right. I taught English at the high school level for 35 years before I retired, and it took me nearly 2 minutes to get wise to the trap and find the error. My son teaches math, and he got it. But I know 2 nurses and an ophthalmologist who didn't.

    In the original e-mail version I received, the numbers are much larger, which makes them seem to be what we ought to be checking, and that's the trap. Maybe they're less seductive when they're smaller as they are on this site.

    Anyway, good show! Are you using that major profitably?

    :)
