chaosmachine Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Just wondering how long it takes the average person to do this. If you don't know what a jumble is, it's a bunch of scrambled letters, you just unscramble them to get the right word. Here's one from today's paper. There's four words. Go: ACOOC FASHE SEXCIE YARFIL So, how long did that take you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Yegg Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 about 20-30 seconds. the first one took me the longest. Same for me about a minute and a half. got stuck on the 2nd one. isn't there usually some circled letters and then a final clue/image to get too? Only in the good papers like the SF Chronicle.

Boxing Day Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I can't do it at all. What does that mean? It mean you have no patience, the total opposite of a Chinese proverb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I timed myself with a stopwatch. I got the first three pretty quickly, but it was 1:10 when I finally concluded that "sheaf" was the answer to the second one, even though I had never heard that word before.
