A Puzzle
This puzzle was printed in the Spire several years ago. Let’s try it again.
Can you find the names of 20 Books of the Bible in this article? We’ll expect a report from everyone.
Someone showed me this story and remarked that there are twenty Books of the Bible hidden in it. You are challenged to find them. Sure enough, they’re all there. Still, this thing’s a lulu, kept me looking so hard for the longest time. Some of you will get bogged down with facts, others are hit by them like they were some kind of revelation or something. You may get in a jam especially since the names are not capitalized and often leap the spaces between the words. This makes it a real job to find them, but it’ll provide a most fascinating few minutes for you. Yes, there are some really easy ones to spot, but don’t get the big head, ‘cause truthfully you’ll soon figure that it would take most federal judges and preachers numbers of hours to find them all. I will admit that it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and that it is not uncommon for there to be loud lamentations when it is pointed out. One lady says that when she is confronted with puzzles like this, she brews a cup of tea to help her concentrate better, but then this gal’s a real pro! Verbs, nouns and all that stuff are her things. Another “Joe” looks for a gimmick. Ah, but it can be done by an old hag. Gain may come slowly, but it’s as easy as peeling a banana. Hum a tune while you rack your brain with this chronicle. So happy hunting. See how well you can compete. Relax! There really are twenty names of the Bible books in this story. If you fail to find them, there is a penalty. You’ll have to go fly a kite, hum the battle hymn of the republic, or hose a dog (a mean one).
