30 Bible Books Brain Teaser Answer Key Paragraph
Health Meditations
Health Information for Body, Mind and Spirit
A Holistic Approach to Health
There are 30 books of the Bible in this paragraph. Can you find them? This is
a most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman in an airplane seat
pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping him occupied for
hours. He enjoyed it so much he passed it on to some friends. One friend from
Illinois worked on this while visiting his brother John. Another friend studied it
while playing the banjo. Elaine Taylor, a columnist friend, was so intrigued by
it that she mentioned it in her weekly newspaper column. Another friend
judges the job of solving the puzzle so challenging, she brews a cup of tea
to calm her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to spot.
That’s a fact. Some people, however, will soon find themselves in a jam,
especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. Truthfully,
from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or
scholar to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that
something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have with seeing
the books in this paragraph. During a recent fund raising event, which
featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new sales
record. The local paper, the Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons who
reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen. As
Daniel Hummana humbly puts it, “the books are all right there in plain view
hidden from sight.” Those able to find any of them will hear great
lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation that may
help is that books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their
numbers. Also, keep in mind, that punctuation and spaces in the middle are
normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete really well against those who
claim to know the answers. Remember, there is no need for a mad exodus.
There really are 30 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph
waiting to be found.
