I “borrowed” this from Click and Clack at Car Talk on NPR. Who got this from Wes Daniels. They steal (their terminology not mine) puzzles all the time so me borrowing one from them is fine I guess if I say where it came from. Find out what is odd with this paragraph. (Last time someone took their puzzler they got complaints about it being wrong and well the people were sorry. I made sure this one was right Don’t worry.)
“This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact nothing is wrong with it. It is highly unusual though, study it and think about it but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching.”
Answer in I don’t know how long.
The answer: There is no letter E in the entire sentence. The most common letter in the English language and yet.
