The Power of Your Mind at its Best, Can you Read this?

This text in the image below is somewhat jumbled, but if you let your mind work on it, you can almost read this at normal speed and will probably make you smile when you figure out how your mind can decipher. Below is the translation of what is in the image.

A paragraph that has its letters jumbled slightlyIf you can read this, you have a strange mind too. Can you read this? Only some people can. I couldn’t believe that I could actually understand what I was reading. The phenomenal power of the human mind, according to a researcher at Cambridge University, it doesn’t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Amazing huh? Yeah and I always thought spelling was important! If you can read this share it.

Although the above text points to some research conducted at Cambridge University, the truth is there is no proven study was actually conducted. And even though 31 of  69 words above are spelled correctly, it is interesting how word order and letter order allow you to continue to read the text somewhat normally.

Because outside of this paragraph the “slpeling” you would have a hard time understanding what word I was getting at, however besides the order of the letters in the word you need the sentence to make some kind of sense. So even though the meme above isn’t 100% accurate and possibly no study was done, it still doesn’t diminish the fact that our minds are powerful tools and when put to solving problems they can amaze us. Take this as you like, but in all it is a fun exercise.
