What is so unusual about this paragraph?
How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing is wrong with it at all, and, in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it, you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt, if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. Who knows? Go to work and try your skill. Par is about half an hour

2/3 of the way through for me, but then my mother was addicted to Wheel of Fortune during my formative years. "R, S, T, L, N, ...." And I read a lot of Doyle during those same years.

Without help, I would have never realized the absence.
