Well, can you?
I admit that I didn’t 🙄

Marydoll Thu 24-Nov-22 20:22:54

Yes, right away!

Grandmabatty Thu 24-Nov-22 20:25:39

Spotted it straight away. Retired English teacher, what can I say?☺️

I'm intrigued. I thought I had it but I'm wondering now. Are you going to post the answer sometime?

Callistemon21 Thu 24-Nov-22 22:05:51

Yes 🙂

Nana3 Thu 24-Nov-22 22:24:24

Took me a few minutes. D'oh!

I’m a retired specialist reading teacher!
What can I say?! 🤦‍♀️

So if you are a specialist numbers person, does that mean that your eyes are automatically drawn to the figures first I wonder?

Sorry Fanny dyscalculia will make no difference to this little trick

Ah, but it did, very much so - I was over confident with my literacy skills, and under confident with my numerical skills;
which resulted in me ignoring the words, and concentrating on the numbers.
Which of course, was my downfall.
The numbers are a red herring

Crossed posts, Joseanne
Does what I’ve written make sense?

Joseanne Fri 25-Nov-22 08:13:54

Yes, exactly that.

FannyCornforth Fri 25-Nov-22 08:15:20

I thought, ‘oh bugger - I’m terrible with numbers - it must be something to do with them that I’m missing.
Not the words, no sirree, I’m great with them!’
Doh!

FannyCornforth Fri 25-Nov-22 08:15:37

Thank you smile

Fanny Oops! ☺️

NotSpaghetti Fri 25-Nov-22 09:29:58

Yes. But I had to enlarge it! 🙄

Sweetpeasue Fri 25-Nov-22 09:42:06

You're not the only muppet then Fanny.
It took me ages-even after enlarging it! 🧐
Is it meant to mean anything, er, deep?Apart from making us feel idiots. 🤔

Immediately, but I'm an editor and things jump out at me. (It spoils many an otherwise great book, sadly.)

Nannagarra Fri 25-Nov-22 12:32:49

Yes. 😄

I don't think I'd have got it straight away but it has been around for a long time, so I'd seen it before. Should we tell now - or are some sill guessing?

Doodle Tue 29-Nov-22 11:46:31

Fanny like you I couldn’t spot it. Concentrating on all the wrong bits. If I hadn’t enlarged it I wouldn’t have spotted it either. Thanks for a bit of fun.
