The January Riddle, “This is an unusual paragraph. Stinky is curious at how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual, though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!” The solution is that the paragraph does not contain the letter “e.” This is unusual because the letter “e” typically appears in English writing with the highest frequency of all the letters.

The participants who answered correctly were Karen Charley, James Harcourt, Ann Johnson, Bruce Koch, Janet Koch, Dave Liesse, Tom Myers, Jim Norlund, Sue Obien, Dave Serfling, and Jon Wyatt.

The riddle-drawing winner is Dave Liesse.

Congrats Dave!
