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 fishing from his john boat.

Another friend studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine

Taylor, a columnist friend, was so intrigued by it she mentioned

it in her weekly newspaper column. Another friend judges the job

of solving this puzzle so involving, she brews a cup of tea to

help her nerves. There will be 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 in 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 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 Humana humbly puts it,

“The books are all right here in plain view hidden from sight.”

Those able to find all 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. God bless
