Researchers Discover Very Difficult Tongue Twister

[Square Wheels]

You know the drill, say this 10 times fast.  Researchers at MIT found that none of their test subject could do it.  Disrgard that this makes no sense at all.

For some inexplicable reason, I have no problem saying this repetitively and fast.  Doesn't seem like much of a tongue twister to me.  Is there a joke here that I am missing?  

 

Nice avatar, BTW.

Not a joke, I saw it this morning.

That's weird.  I usually have the average amount of trouble with TT's, but this one, which is supposed to be so difficult, is easy for me.  I have finally excelled at something!  Yay!

 

I'm still suspicious of a joke here somewhere...

We do tend to make people feel a little paranoid they are being set up don't we.  What an evil bunch we are.

 

Here's at least one source for what I posted.

Why 10?  Who established this arbitrary threshold for satisfactory performance?

 

Why not 11? Or 6? Or 42?

 

And couldn't these researchers, at MIT of all places, spend their time more fruitfully investigating real issues instead of wasting time and money investigating tongue twisters?  Wouldn't their time be better spent figuring out why blue is faster than red?

Exactly.  And another reason it sounded like a joke.
