Square Wheels Posted December 6, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2013 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. Pad Kid Poured Curd Pulled Cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted December 6, 2013 Share #2 Posted December 6, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted December 6, 2013 Not a joke, I saw it this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted December 6, 2013 Share #4 Posted December 6, 2013 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Disrgard that this makes no sense at all. Pad Kid Poured Curd Pulled Cold 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. And another reason it sounded like a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
