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 the 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 the 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 Hummana 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
their 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.
