what's wrong here... |
 |
|
 |
|
| I know the answer, but you have changed the right question. The original way this question was "'Find the error. It's impossible!"  |
|
|
oh, really? I got this question as this way, and I haven't figured it out what is wrong here or what the error is here...  |
 |

 hmm... I must admit I did some Googling and found a ton of different opinions about this. Some say the error is that there is no error but still 20% of the students found one. Some people also posted the question as "Find the error. Its impossible!" and then the answer would have been that the error is in grammar.However, let's assume Arja's post is the way it was originally posted... then the answer would not be in grammar, it would just be the poster in that case making a mistake. Doh! It also says "error above", so the error would not be in that line but above it. I'm guessing the answer is that 20% of the students appear to find an error when there is none...  |

| The answer has nothing to do with those letters. This same question has been done also with numbers 000 111 222 333 444 555 666 777 888 999 and one letter/number (like a,b,c,d etc and 1,2,3,4 etc); so many ways, but the question is always the same "Find the error. It's impossible!" "Did you know that 80% of UCSD students could not find the error above?" There is nothing wrong in that list, but still 20% of students could find the error which mean it isn't impossible. Only 80% of the students couldn't find the error. If it really was impossible (like says in the question) 100% of the students would not have found the error. So, this is epigram (I’m not sure if this is right word. The Finnish word is "kompa" so Jani knows what I mean). How could it be impossible if 20% of students have solved it?  Usually this question come via email where says that "copy-paste" this. But some people didn't, so thats why there are some different versions in that same question. And the different versions have different misspellings... |
hoho~~ |

| There's nothing wrong with it. It was intended as a prank puzzler, and it appears to be doing it's job well: Illustrating to what lengths most individuals will go, to find (or invent) an error condition, if they've been told that one exists. 80% of the students were correct; 20% fabricated an error where there was none.  |
|
|
Actually it would be interesting to know *what* the errors where that 20% of the students supposedly could find...  |

| just useless stupid spam, and whoever made is laughing ter asses off at gullible ppl tryoing to solve a riddle that has n solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hehehe... I think it's even funnier some people spend their time searching this topic in Google and then accuse other people wasting their time solving it... I mean, let's face it, if you didn't fall for it you wouldn't be here writing about it!  |
|

I read somewhere that what the 20% found is that there is NO error and then moved on wth their lives. The other 80% spent time trying to find an error just because they assumed it exists. Stupid spam I agree... |

 It's simply a diversion. Zento is right, the error is that there is no apostrophe in 'Whats' the difference between 'What is' and the possesive. The instructions tel you to repost with the title 'What's wrong here' and the answer will be obivous. Obvious because you'll have just typed the correct spelling of 'what's' and are more likely to notice it. |

| THE ERROR IS THAT WE DO NOT SAY THE ENGLISH ALPHABET 3 TIMES.. we just say A,B,C,D... and it also depends on where you are from as to how you will interpret those letters, the Spanish alphabet has different "letters" than the English one..so a person who is familiar with the Spanish alphabet may notice that there are extra letters and missing letters.  |
