Brain Study....
Wow! It took me the first 3 words, but then it is so easy...
I’ve seen something like this with the letters out of order, but this is the first time I’ve seen it with numbers.

That's called "1337 5p34k." The amazing part is that everyone can read it, even though the numbers only loosely resemble the letters they replace.

A knowledge of English is necessary in this particular example, although there are most probably versions for other languages :smile:

Would be a nightmare for dyslexics.

I am somewhat dyslexic, and I actually find it easier to comprehend mixed symbols that straight text. Puzzles of any sort are easier for me than dry script.

Haha! The amount of times I went to put a disclaimer in and someone chimed in prior to it! Good point, though, that it certainly won't measure all types of minds well...:kissing:
