Bible Book Puzzle
There are 30 books of the Bible in this paragraph. Can you find them?
This is a most remarkable puzzle. It was found
by a gentleman in 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
a 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 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 here 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 their 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. God Bless.
Note: Osee is a variant spelling of Hosea. |
