Thanks, that explains 99% of the posts on Scubaboard :wink:
 
I'ts no joke, I just read an article on the study. It questions at what point the understanding breaks down. I'll see if I can find some relevant quotes or links
 
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.

Yep, I should of guessed you were a M That's the article I was talking about. I just can't find my latest issue.

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.
