If any of you are in Mensa, in their weekly bulletin they had an atricle about this. It was about how when the words are REALY scrambled (like 754632189 not 132457869) then this doesn't work. Cute trick, though.

lol that was a pretty cool article. Though, I thought that edition of the bulletin kinda sucked. It was pretty lame in comparisson to some of their others.

You're an M too? Niiice. Small world, I guess. lol.
