This is an unusual paragraph. This is an unusual paragraph. I am curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain, that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is highly unusual though, study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. If you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching. Isler was right! This paragraph does not contain the letter E. The letter E is the most common letter in the English language, Peachey was also right, without giving away the answer. Someone did write an entire book without using E. Seems pretty difficult and probably makes for dull reading.

I'm not sure. the letters...Is it unusual because it have no "e"? (It doesn't have "x" or "z",either.But I don't think the lack of "x" and "z" will be the answer.) Don't tell me it is unusual just because you're unusual.

Just felt weird...Because we use "e" so much in English.Can you also write a paragraph without "a"?That must be very difficult.(It's impossible I think) Hey,what's that?Another question?? I know the answer of Q1 :He can choose the third room because the lions are dead.I don't think they still alive after eating nothing in 3 years,how stupid. Q2:I don't know.Does "shoot" have another meaning?My English is poor. I don't know Q3,either.What's it? Q4:Of course I can! Today,tomorrow,the day after tomorrow. Yesterday,today,tomorrow. The day before yesterday,yesterday,today. Ha.Are they right?

1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him? 2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be? 3. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away ? 4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?

Ha!! :D Apparently a whole book was written in the same unusual manner. (See, I can't even write a sentence like that, without slipping up six times!)

Isler... Q1: Right! Of course the lions would be dead. Q2: You are on the right track. "Shoot" does have another meaning in English not related to handguns. Q3: Oh! This one is a bit tricky, but you should be familiar if you've ever seen an old-fashioned oven. Q4: Correct again!
