Can you meet these 2 challenges?
We've seen this with the letters out of order, but this is with numbers. Good example of a Brain Study: If you can read this OUT LOUD you have a strong mind. And better than that: Alzheimer's is a long long, way down the road before it ever gets anywhere near you.

Errr, with which I had to work.

Poor grammar is something up with which I shall not put!

(19,312 posts)I'm a 'Jumble' fanatic, a crossword addict, and will try any new word problem test on the planet.

(24,376 posts)to read those messages can work against us in some circumstances. For example, if you witness an accident or a crime, you can end up describing what you expected to see rather than what actually happened. Your mind orders things according to what it knows or believes. A good witness sees only what is there, without filling in gaps or expectations.
