    The paragraph below is most unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?

    "Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honour got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby , walking towards that group, saw a youg girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "

    The above passage is taken from the book "Gatsby" written by Ernest Vincent Wright in the late 1930's

    All right, this one is as good as they get! ;-)

    The problem with fairies !

    -

    While exploring the wild highlands of Scotland, Crazy Rob was captured by hostile wood fairies.

    Smazze, the powerful chief of the fairies told him he could make one final statement which would determine how he would die.

    If the statement he made was false, he would be boiled in water.

    If the statement were true, he would be fried in oil.

    Crazy Rob found neither of this options too his liking, so he made a statement that got him out of this seemingly impossible situation.

    What is the one statement he could make to save himself?

    "a house is built where all 4 sides face south, a bear comes along, what color is the bear?"

    The bear is white; it's a polar bear at the north pole. You're right, that was easy.

    I'm duly impressed, fading away. I didn't get it. ;-) Incidentally, "e" is by far the most common letter in the English language.
