I'd say that a month and a half is long enough to say that you've stumped us Jansz, what's the answer?

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.

Easy: the consonant 'v' is absent from your whole paragraph!

The letter "E" is not used once through the whole paragraph

It's addressing me in the second-person form. As if I give a shit.

Every time I see this thread title I think it's called "Biddies thread", and that it's a thread for old ladies to argue with each other over who was better, Dean Martin or Tony Bennett?
