an airplane seat pocket, on a flight from Los Angeles to
Honolulu, keeping him occupied for hours. He enjoyed it so much,
he passed it on to some friends.
One friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his
john boat. Another friend studied it while playing his banjo.
Elaine Taylor, a columnist friend, was so intrigued by it she
mentioned it in her weekly newspaper column.
Another friend judges the job of solving this puzzle so
involving, she brews a cup of tea to help her nerves. There will
be some names that are really easy to spot. That's a fact. Some
people, however, will soon find themselves in a jam, especially
since the book names are not necessarily capitalized.
Truthfully, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it
usually takes a minister or scholar to see some of them at the
worst. Research has shown that something in our genes is
responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the books in
this paragraph.
During a recent fund raising event, which featured this puzzle,
the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new sales record. The
local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons who
reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had
ever seen. As Daniel Humana humbly puts it, "the books are all
right there in plain view hidden from sight."
Those able to find all of them will hear great lamentations from
those who have to be shown. One revelation that may help is that
books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without there numbers.
Also, keep in mind, that punctuation and spaces in the middle are
normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete really well
against those who claim to know the answers.
Remember, there is no need for a mad exodus, there really are 30
books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph waiting to
be found.
