Pesky Cambridge. They're right, you know And yeah - I can read it. The trick is to speed read, for anyone who doesn't know it

Yep, if you read it with a rather high speed, without thinking to much about the words, it comes by itself. Azmnaig huh? ;D

I had seen this one before. Chris got hold of it at work and brought it home. When he told me about it I couldn't believe it was possible, but then when he showed it to me I found out I could read it. I was amazed that it could be read so easily with the words spelled the way they were. Yeah, leave it to Cambridge. ;D Shan

I find it's pretty easy to read slowly also, but then I pride myself being excellent at jumbles.

aye, easy enough to read, but then again, not really suprising, as they're right, most people don't read the letters, just the words

The part about '55 people' is nonsense, though. Part of the study is that it's just the way the mind works. Everyone can.

Maybe not. It could just be a strange coincidence that those 55 are members of this forum.

I suspect it's 55% - and I have really smart boardies, so I'd not be surprised if everyone here came into that %

I feel wierd having been able to read that, but yeah, it was no problem unless I stopped and actually looked at the word. No matter what speed I read it at, I could read it. But looking at any one word, it made no sense.
I wouldn't be surprised if everyone here is part of the 55% who can read it.

I was able to read it without a problem as well. I've seen a similar one where they remove all the vowels from the words and you can still read it too.

This is one of the those internet memes who surface every once in a while, I've seen it in other boards and most people can read it.

Maybe they only tested it on politicians? ;D Or would 55% be a bit high for them? ;D

EK, it might be 55% of those Cambridge researchers can read the jumbled text.
