Did you know that 80% of UCSD students could not find the error above?

Well... actually I also don't know! this is just someone asked me... so who can tell what's wrong here???
 2. Arja | 2007-12-1 | Αγγλικά
I know the answer, but you have changed the right question.
The original way this question was "'Find the error. It's impossible!" smiley
 3. Jimmy | 2007-12-1 | Αγγλικά
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... smiley
 4. Jani | 2007-12-1 | Αγγλικά
smiley 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... smiley
 5. Arja | 2007-12-1 | Αγγλικά
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? smiley

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...
 6. Arja | 2007-12-1 | Αγγλικά
One misspelling was "Its impossible".  It is harmless mistake itself, but the consideration started if it has something to do with grammatical error.

And when the question isn't correct, it is obviously, that there are a lot of conclusions, what is the right answer, like OOO (letter) should be 000 (number) or vice versa, or maybe there is number between letters S5S etc.

This is quite old "enigma", I think it was maybe 2 years ago, when I first time saw this...
 7. Silvia | 2007-12-1 | Αγγλικά
I have to agree with Jani. There´s nothing wrong there... what´s wrong is that 20% of the people found a mistake where there isn´t any...

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. smiley
 11. Προσκεκλημένος | 2007-12-3 | Αγγλικά
This is just a SPAM!!!

In facebook it says: Repost this with the title "what's wrong here", and when you click "post ", the answer will be really obvious.

Or in emails it says copy-paste / forward...etc and the answer will be obvious...blah blah

So it finds it way through the net, there is no riddle here just a clever SPAM!
 12. Προσκεκλημένος | 2007-12-3 | Αγγλικά
Probably the only wrong thing I found is spelling.

The question say "Whats wrong here?" and then the letters but the final question say "Did you know that 80% of UCSD students could not find the error above?". Above is every thing above that sentence.

Finally the spam ask you to forward with the subject "what's wrong here". I think miss the apostrophe in the fisrt question could be the wrong, but I just guess.
 13. Προσκεκλημένος | 2007-12-3 | Αγγλικά
What's wrong here.... the actual answer is the missing question mark... the aaa bbb ccc or 111 222 333 is misleading.  Many variations of this puzzle, but all leads to the initial first line.
 14. Προσκεκλημένος | 2007-12-3 | Αγγλικά
Could it be that there is no question mark in the original question.  This would be the case whichever question was asked as i have never seen a question mark in the question.
 15. Jani | 2007-12-3 | Αγγλικά
Actually it would be interesting to know *what* the errors where that 20% of the students supposedly could find... smiley

This is simple word/caps play - it said to post it with the subject "what's wrong here"

There you substitute What' s wrong here? with- what's wrong here?
 17. Silvia | 2007-12-3 | Αγγλικά
I am really convinced that there´s nothing wrong there... And I agree... I would love to know what it is that 20% of the students found...
 18. kneecapsvii | 2007-12-3 | Αγγλικά
I think it's just some sort of loop. Why I say that is because the first sentence basically tells you something is wrong, so you read through the rest searching carefully for the error only to be told in the last sentence that no one could find the error above it. The "error" is actually everything up until the last sentence by itself, meaning nothing is actually wrong. The problem is that the first sentence implies that something IS in fact wrong, and since an error was found, the first sentence is correct in implying so. So i suppose the implication is the error, meaning "what's wrong here?" is a completely unrelative question meant to make no sense.

Or I put too much thought into that.

Thats possible too.

the word 'degree', 3 eee's , its about global warming , it is expected that by 2100 earth will heat up by 3 degrees, but like the earth and this puzzle we cant see it, we are concentrating too much on the small things and not seeing the bigger picture, if we dont act soon it may be impossible to solve, why we dont  put as much energy in to solving the global warming puzzle now is the real riddle.

no it's that there is no question mark...because as you can tell from above it says Repost this with the title "what's wrong here", without the question mark its just a title not a question a misleading title but just a title none the less... and if the original one was meant to trick people into "finding" an error then whoever re-wrote it made the mistake of actually creating an error...and yes I do have way too much time on my hands lol!!!!
 38. Προσκεκλημένος | 2007-12-6 | Αγγλικά
you guys are all thinking too hard...the reason that 80% of USCD students didn't find an error is because there isn't one!!! the other 20% were all like you and thought much too hard; therefore, making up an error in the end.
 39. Προσκεκλημένος | 2007-12-6 | Αγγλικά
The title itself is the give away, as everyone has alluded to, but noone really defined.

The line "whats wrong here?" and the title of the post "what's wrong here" should be treated seperately. "whats wrong here?" being a question and "what's wrong here" being a statement.

The statement refers to the subject word being "what" and referring to it as the error. More verbosely, I believe the statement could be re-written as "the word "what" in the subject below is what is wrong here."
 40. Προσκεκλημένος | 2007-12-6 | Αγγλικά
what is wrong here is that I have just wasted time that I could have wasted somewhere else only to reaffirm what I had been thinking already.  Now, lets see how well I do in Spanish.

lo que esta mal es que acabo de mal gastar mi tiempo que yo hubiera podido mal gastar en otro lugar solo para reafirmar lo que ya habia pensado, ahora, veamos que tan bueno lo hago en espanol.   

Not too bad considering I am a gringo and don't have the accent marks on my keyboard. (yes I know I could look them up in the character map thingy....tooo much time).

I found a answer to that, but it's maybe not the right on... Nevermind ...

You all focus on each letter's AAA, BBB or CCC but there are not mistake on it. The only mistake I think is that the sentence "what's wong here" has not been retype 3 times like the letters !!!

For me, it should be :
"
what's wong here  what's wong here  what's wong here

AAA
BBB
...

"

This may be a original answer because it says "Repost this with the title "what's wrong here" " : it does not mean you to retype "what's wrong here" on the subject line of a email but as the title of the mail. And then, you will have 2 times "what's wrong here" on the title, and at that moment, you may a reaction : "yeah, why not 3 times ?".

Someone else have another answer ?

I also found one in this post.  It comes at the end of the first sentence.

It's a pun.  Find the words "the error," or just "error" if that's what floats your boat.

You all wrong its the comma. The comma after forward is supposed to be in front of the quote. Once you repost it the sentence becomes true because the error is now above the sentence "the error above"

people keep saying that the I's are lower case L's.  On a standard QUERTY keyboard they are upper case I's so that can't be the error.

find "the error" you can find it above because theres three of each letter. EEE RRR OOO TTT HHH you can use all the letters there to spell "THE ERROR" haha....so i did find "the error"

 61. Προσκεκλημένος | 2007-12-8 | Αγγλικά
smileyIt'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. smiley
 65. Προσκεκλημένος | 2007-12-8 | Αγγλικά
the one on face book is simple!  No apostrophe in the title question. if your too stupid to realize that you deserve to waste you time reading these lame forums!
 66. ihavetheanswer | 2007-12-8 | Αγγλικά
by the way, when it says  "Did you know that 80% of UCSD students could not find the error above?"
what if only 80% of the students were asked? that would leave the other 20% out of the question because they had no say in the error at all.
 67. Προσκεκλημένος | 2007-12-8 | Αγγλικά
Depeding on the version you get, there should either be a question mark (?), apostrophe ('), or colon (smiley in the first line: "What(')s wrong here(?/smiley"

Whether or not it was originally intended to not have any mistakes is irrelevant if the one you (anyone) receive does in fact have errors in it, because then it's self contradicting.  My oppinion: it relies too much on the competency of the forwarder, and is too prone to be altered in a way that ruins its purpose.

Maybe the 80% that didn't find the error were actually correct and the 20% that did find an error found false error. If there's no error to be found, then the 80% that didn't find an error were the correct majority.

Either that or the error is the : KKKsmiley

this is fascinating. seriously! can't believe I just read all of that, and can't believe I actually thought there was a real answer to the 'riddle'. I assumed the lack of apostrophe was just a mistake, not THE error, because how many people actually care about punctuation online?
now I'm just going to try to accept that there is no answer, and I will NOT google it anymore!! what a waste of time!

i personally think that its just a ploy to get you to forward it and mull over it for endless hours. There is nothing wrong because people have tried everything - paste into .doc and check the letters, etc - some found an error where there was none. The posting I read said "Did you know that 80% of UCSD students could not find the error above? Repost this with the title "what's wrong here", and when you click "post ", the answer will be really obvious"

Seems that the stat is just to motivate people to be one of those 20% and the other part is just to make you want to post more. One of those useless forward things, i think. But just my opinion.

WHATS WRONG HERE   >>>>  REPOST >>>> WHAT'S WRONG HERE  << [Corrected]

Once you've retyped the title "What's wrong here" you'll realize that there is no question mark after the first line of the problem (it will be really obvious because you are retyping that sentence and you'll be thinking about it...maybe?). At least for the versionssssss  i received on facebook.

Or...

What's wrong here.......nothing! That's a legitimate answer you know!

Or...

I like the answer "KKK".....very wrong indeed lol.

Also, if I met the maker of this ridiculous riddle, the answer to which there will clearly never be a consensus, I would punch him (or her even) in the FACE! lol

i believe this also alludes to alice in wonderland if anyone remembers the question
why is a raven like a writing desk?
carroll never intended for that question to have an answer just like this question
but apparently people out there weren't satisfied with a riddle without a solution (like this one) so they made up answers like Loyd's "they both have inky quills"
it wasn't until some 30 years later that carroll proposed answers because so many people asked him about the answer and all he could really say was that there is no answer but that obviously would seem as if he didn't want to give away his answer so people went out and made up their own
thus the 20% who found SOMETHING wrong with this even though there was nothing wrong to begin with, and they probably found errors because someone wrote it down wrong or something as many do when replicating this old puzzle

smiley I think the interesting part of this puzzle/riddle is not the answer but the fact that it provoked thought by ppl.  When I received it on Facebook seven times, I decided I would figure it out.  When all my solutions seemed like cheap plays as finding an error, I did a GOOGLE search and like some of you I was brought here.  I read all the solutions and I believe that there is some validity in all of them.  But the consensus seems to be that it provoked thought.  That is why only 20% of the ppl found an error.  Only 20% decided to place thought towards it.

There were no studies of UCSD students to find the error.  Some goofy person made this up to see how many foolish people would forward it, thinking that something would happen when they hit send or forward.  Also, did you know that 68% of all statistics are made up.  It's true. 

And furthermore, researchers at the University of Minnesota discovered a new number between 3 and 4 and named it 'bleen.'  Copy and paste the following:
1 2 3 4 5 into an e-mail message and then send it to a friend.  Than go to your sent items folder, open up the sent message, and look between the 3 and the 4 -- you'll be able to see the symbol for bleen.  It is amazing.

After being sad enough to read all of these comments smiley I think we can all come to a few conclusions:
Firstly - i have never come accross a thread of a forum where the conversation doesnt end up in a disagreement or arguement over something stupid!
Secondly - whoever wrote this was very clever - whatever the actual intended mistake was <<if there was one, this message has sucessfully created many debates and been the center of many hours of confusion!
Thirdy - my personal beliefs are that the actual issue is why 100% of the UCSD students didnt find an error, maybe it shows that in a modern society like ours, we are being taught in a such a narrow minded way that we do not "think outside of the box" enough and assume that if somebody says there is an error, we must find it without questionning it every time!

Look...obviously the person who first wrote it did in fact include an error in the list. However, over time it has been reposted and retyped and rephrased. It's clear that during this process the error has been lost. So unless somebody can find the original post that started this massive chain that has become known as spam, there is no point in wondering about it.

The 80% of the people who said they couldn't find an error were the correct ones. There isn't an error. Nobody ever said that the 80% were incorrect for not finding an error. The 20% were the people who were incorrect for finding an error that didn't exist. It's not about the apostrophe or any of that. That's probably a typo in the first forward because nobody uses correct punctuation online (well, besides me). There's your answer, get a life and stop Googling this.

"Did you know that 80% of UCSD students could not find the error above?"

keyword: above

That could mean the error is not above, therfore 20% found the error below. The error could be the lack of validity in the statement "Repost this with the title "what's wrong here", and when you click "Forward ", the answer will be really obvious."

That statement even reinforces it because when you do forward it, the error will not be "really obvious."

My english is not so good but I want to say that the real error is waste all this time trying to find a "posible" error in this thing, which doesn't have any reason to resolve it.
But, in spite of everything, My theory, (to put something different), I think that the error is to put togheter the V's. When we do that, there are not 3 v's, there are 1 W and 1 V or better, a extended super W. Therefore, that word doesn't exist.
After this, I'm going to find a cure to the stupidity to cure myself.

THIS IS THE WRIGHT ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IF YOU CARE

The answer is in the question.. it is either phrased "Whats wrong here?" or "What's wrong here".
Both are incorrect as "whats" needs an appostrophy in the first example,  and the second one needs a question mark.  There is no mistake in the pattern of letters.  btw im a straight G (in general)...im out

i can't believe i actually read all these comments to come up to the following thing:
if the study were to be a real one, it would have been an accurate one, only the people were not from ULSC, but they are us. the 20% that believed they found an error posted them here, and those 80% are the ones who googled it, like me, to actually find the solution... but then again how would the creator actually be able to trace all that stuff. i think he or she is having a blast seeing how people are looking and searching everywhere for the answer...
technicalities; grammar mistakes ( ' ), unethical mistakes (kkk), caps mistakes ( L instead of I ).
In the end it doesn't matter who found it, or what is, it's just a big ass spam that is actually still fun to follow :D

The 80%/20% rule is just Pareto's rule. It's kind of a natural ratio that you can interpret in many ways. One way could be to say that 20% of the people searching and writing about this stupid trick are actually making 80% of the noise around it.

You're told to "find the error above."  Therefore, you need to look at the entire entry about the directions.


Including the "what's wrong here" part.  Which would lead me to believe that the error is that there is no question mark after the "what's wrong here," which is a question.  They mislead you into looking into the wrong place by leaving the letters/numbers.


So the error is that there is no question mark after the question, "What's wrong here".

it didn't technically say there was an error. it just said people couldnt find one.

thats one possible answer. another is what has been mentioned, in that there is some form of grammatical or punctuational error.

alternately, it could be that the mistake was changed so there was no longer a mistake and the corrected version has circulated and confused the shit out of everyone. i have seen versions where the IIIs are llls, or where the OOOs are 000s

Anyone got statistics on the percentage of people that respond to chain letters etc? My take on this is that the writer assumed about 1/5 people would forward the letter then realize that what was wrong with it is that they actually took the effort to forward it.  The other 80% of us are left to question it in forums (which is worse i suppose!).
 153. Προσκεκλημένος | 2007-12-28 | Αγγλικά
Now everyone, can we STOP the senseless spamming!? It's getting quite ridiculous. So, I decided to devote some time in thinking of the answer, and hopefully, putting an end to the incessant question and stopping the wall spamming.

Okay, there are 5 solutions. Choose the one that makes you happy.

1.) The capital i's are actually lower case L's. Read as I give an example. This is going to be a capitol i - I. This is a lowercase L - l. Could you tell the difference? 99.9% of you probably couldn't, and if you could, it's probably a placebo effect, because I told you so.

But, I remember this type of chain letter was also found using numbers, instead of letters (i.e. 000, 111, 222, 333, etc.) and people have argued that the zero's are actually the letter o, capitalized. So this solution may not be the most viable.

2.) "What's wrong here" has no question mark, no colon, not even a comma, which is simply a grammatical error in the posting.

But, I have also seen this chain letter start off by asking, "Find the error. It's Impossible!" Which means, the fact that the beginning sentence can vary, lowers the importance of the first sentence - which could just be a personal preference and it lessens the viability of this solution.

3.) To segue-way from that last thought, let's get more critical in thinking. If it's impossible to find answer, then how could it be that 20% of UCSD students found an answer? Since it's not an open-ended question, 80% couldn't find the error, hence the other 20% did find one. So, the question states that it's not possible, yet, 20% of UCSD students say they found one - just because the question asked for them to find an error, they said they found one - this shows the suggestibility of thought in our feeble human minds.

4.) The error is proven through a finite loop. If you read the question initially, there is no error, but because you re-read and/or repost to find the error, you find that the error is that there is no error, but told there is an error. Do you get it? Okay read carefully - the fact that there is no error, but told there is an error, is an error in itself.

Okay... but, I really don't think the creator of this chain letter was this smart or had thought this through as much as I did. Even more so, expected adolescents to think about it this way. So, where do we find ourselves? Well, at my last solution, which I think is the most viable.

5.) Simply, it is a spam tool. Due to the near impossibility or ambiguity of the answer, recipients would willfully, being self-motivated, repost the chain letter in hopes of finding the answer [as self-motivation is the greatest incentive in human behavior, as oppose to fear motivation (e.g. respost this or send to 10 friends or you will LOSE ALL your friends!!!) and reward motivation (e.g. repost this or send to 10 friends and you will get MORE friends!!!)] This method would cause a type of hysteria, exponentially gaining more people to repost the message - people seeking for an answer.

But, you ask, there is no message or meaning in this chain letter, what motivation do the creator(s) have in having everyone repost this over and over? Well, simply seeing an entire community, or even an entire generation of youth, send emails, post on boards, post on walls and even me, taking the time to write this frickin' note, is reason enough to create such a thing.

It's power. To see that all these people are magnifying your creation and even more so, being fooled by your clever prank, is more than enough reason to create such a thing, seeing how successful it - it's message, and you, the creator, can become. That, I believe, is the true reason behind any chain letter and the answer behind this one.

Best,
Steven

P.S. The fact that I think and examine so closely and deeply such a petty thing like a chain letter, only makes one wonder how much I think about my belief in Christ Jesus and His effect on this world and all it's history - His Story. Ultimately, in my nearly 23 years of life, I have found no better answer than that Jesus Christ IS God and Savior - more importantly, He does love you and has a wonderful and fulfilling plan for your life. smiley

Repost this with the title "what's wrong here", and when you click "post ", the answer will be really obvious.
In the beginning it writes "whats wrong here", so when you wirte the correct sentence you automatically see the wrong part ( ' ) is missing. The answer is hidden in the first sentence that is all, just a puzzle of words nothing more...

Do you people actually believe they tested the entire school at UCSD?  This is the most stupid blog or thread or whatever you call it that I have ever come across.  I'm not even going to give my opinion of what I think the error is or isn't because I couldn't care less (talk about that, why people say 'I could care less' when it clearly should be 'couldn't care less,' or what about 'a whole nother').  I'm hoping guest is a general name for whoever doesn't have one, otherwise that person needs a life.  Don't bother responding, because I will not be returning to read your responses.  Ciao.

U could notice that "whats" should be "What's", but usually if you have alot of info, you dont really concentrate on obvious stuff such as this..........i hope this kinda solves the problem

either way..it does take too much time for no reason
so i am just going to leave it the way it is..and not bother with it

It's either a lack of apostrophe, or a lack of capital letter in the first line orginally. Otherwise, if someone has corrsected the question, then it is that 20% found an error when none exists.

"Did you know that 80% of UCSD students could not find the error above? "

the question does not tell us to 20% of them found the error. so the error is in the question there is no one whom
found error.

Let me explain what's wrong here....:
The moment you repost this message to other friends after 5 minutes scratching your head and really found nothing wrong. But you can't imagine if someone send you something without a meaning. So, most forward it agin to see if friends can help.
That's why when you "forward" this message again (like what I am going to do soon), the "wrong" (SPAM) is done one more time. And the 20% of people can solve it by not posting this "SPAM" agin and agin......... hahaha.......!

Whoever created this SPAM is smart!

The error is human error, i just spent a veryyyyy long time reading this whole page. The fact that no one can accept that there is no error is the error. As humans, once we have a mindset, it's hard to break it, including falling for a veryyyyyyy longgggggg spammmmmmmmmm!smiley It frustrates us that there is no error when from somewhere, it was assumed that there was. Our ego makes it such, that its impossible to accept that the error is nonexistant. Frustrating ain't it, lol.

A young child would look at the letters and realise they can't sing the song, which they cannot help when they see the letters in of the alphabet. They will see the problem because they need the song. We don't and will over-analyse this to death!!!! ( as is evidenced by this thread!!!! ;~)  )

there really are only 2 possible answers...
its either that the apostropheis missing...
but there are different versions going around... some of them are missing the apostrophe. in those cases, that is the error. but if the  apostrophe in what's is not missing, check to see if the i's look like: I OR l..... the first one is an actual uppercase i and the second is a lowercase L... check it out. hope that was helpful! =)

I haven't read all these posts but am I the only person who actually know's 'what's wrong here'?

What's wrong is the spelling of 'what's' and the missing apostrophe.

The message tells you to repost with 'what's wrong here' and 'the answer will be really obvious'. The reason the answer will be really obvious is because spell check will pick up the incorrect spelling of 'whats'. Whats is not a word in any dictionary.

when the original says that 80% of UCSD students could not find the error, its because they only asked 80% of the students attending so the other 20% did not even get polled or asked to find the error. It is a stupid spam attempt

Did you know that 80% of UCSD students could not find the error above? Repost this with the title "what's wrong here", and when you click "Forward ", the answer will be really obvious.


The Solution is that it should be a Colon after Here. And or also to promote UCSD through Spam becuase no one gets it and wants to Forward it to see the answer and has spread for a number of years through email and face book by reposting, its basically like advertising.

Now everyone, can we STOP the senseless spamming!? It's getting quite ridiculous. So, I decided to devote some time in thinking of the answer, and hopefully, putting an end to the incessant question and stopping the wall spamming.

Okay, there are 5 solutions. Choose the one that makes you happy.

1.) The capital i's are actually lower case L's. Read as I give an example. This is going to be a capitol i - I. This is a lowercase L - l. Could you tell the difference? 99.9% of you probably couldn't, and if you could, it's probably a placebo effect, because I told you so.

But, I remember this type of chain letter was also found using numbers, instead of letters (i.e. 000, 111, 222, 333, etc.) and people have argued that the zero's are actually the letter o, capitalized. So this solution may not be the most viable.

2.) "What's wrong here" has no question mark, no colon, not even a comma, which is simply a grammatical error in the posting.

But, I have also seen this chain letter start off by asking, "Find the error. It's Impossible!" Which means, the fact that the beginning sentence can vary, lowers the importance of the first sentence - which could just be a personal preference and it lessens the viability of this solution.

3.) To segue-way from that last thought, let's get more critical in thinking. If it's impossible to find answer, then how could it be that 20% of UCSD students found an answer? Since it's not an open-ended question, 80% couldn't find the error, hence the other 20% did find one. So, the question states that it's not possible, yet, 20% of UCSD students say they found one - just because the question asked for them to find an error, they said they found one - this shows the suggestibility of thought in our feeble human minds.

4.) The error is proven through a finite loop. If you read the question initially, there is no error, but because you re-read and/or repost to find the error, you find that the error is that there is no error, but told there is an error. Do you get it? Okay read carefully - the fact that there is no error, but told there is an error, is an error in itself.

Okay... but, I really don't think the creator of this chain letter was this smart or had thought this through as much as I did. Even more so, expected adolescents to think about it this way. So, where do we find ourselves? Well, at my last solution, which I think is the most viable.

5.) Simply, it is a spam tool. Due to the near impossibility or ambiguity of the answer, recipients would willfully, being self-motivated, repost the chain letter in hopes of finding the answer [as self-motivation is the greatest incentive in human behavior, as oppose to fear motivation (e.g. respost this or send to 10 friends or you will LOSE ALL your friends!!!) and reward motivation (e.g. repost this or send to 10 friends and you will get MORE friends!!!)] This method would cause a type of hysteria, exponentially gaining more people to repost the message - people seeking for an answer.

But, you ask, there is no message or meaning in this chain letter, what motivation do the creator(s) have in having everyone repost this over and over? Well, simply seeing an entire community, or even an entire generation of youth, send emails, post on boards, post on walls and even me, taking the time to write this frickin' note, is reason enough to create such a thing.

It's power. To see that all these people are magnifying your creation and even more so, being fooled by your clever prank, is more than enough reason to create such a thing, seeing how successful it - it's message, and you, the creator, can become. That, I believe, is the true reason behind any chain letter and the answer behind this one.

Best,
Steven

P.S. The fact that I think and examine so closely and deeply such a petty thing like a chain letter, only makes one wonder how much I think about my belief in Christ Jesus and His effect on this world and all it's history - His Story. Ultimately, in my nearly 23 years of life, I have found no better answer than that Jesus Christ IS God and Savior - more importantly, He does love you and has a wonderful and fulfilling plan for your life.

I think all letters are the same.. and there is no right or wrong answer... it is just to make people to argue over what is wrong with this?
I recalled a teacher putting on the slide. and it showed 2 forks. One fork is from the past and the other fork is what we use now a days. Both are very different. The teachers asked "What is the difference between the two forks ?" Everyone was throwing a debates like as the old one is more sharper and the ones we used now a days is safer.. and it went on and on... til the last person said "They are both bloody forks!"
When look at all the comments on to finding solutions to this problem.. I could say "For goodness sake .. they are all just letters and there is nothing wrong !"

sadly I agree with others who have come up with this solution. I really think it does come down to this bit :

"Did you know that 80% of UCSD students could not find the error above? "

"the error" can be made out of the letters in the list, but only because the letters are repeated 3 times.

I reckon its as simple as that.. similar written joke puzzles  have used that style of questioning to misdirect you through its form of questioning.

the original posting of the email starts with "whats wrong here" and then at the end tells you to resend it with the subject "what's wrong here" telling you that it will be very obvious when you repost.  When you repost it, you're supposed to see that the subject reads "what's" and the riddle starts with "whats"

At least that's what it was when I got it a long time ago.  Even if it wasn't the original, it was at least a version of the riddle which basically had the same exact problem in the grammar, but actually providing the proof of the answer.

I first saw this so-called riddle in the early eighties in a psychology class, which pre-dates email, newsgroups, et al.
The premise of the idea was to take a group of students who were the "best and brightest" and give them an unsolvable riddle to discover their ability to rid themselves of a pre-conceived idea.  The fact that 20% "found" a mistake means that they could not stop looking until their own minds invented one.

For the emails that circulate nowadays, take your pick of the "errors".

Missing apostrophe
Missing question mark
Grammatical errors
Zeroes instead of O's (as in Oscar)
Lowercase letters substituted for Uppercase letters

I've even seen one with the sentence:
"Can you pick the errror above?"

Hope this helps some, including the friend whose PC I'm using to type this as she was brain-numbed by it all.

i dont think that anything is wrong, The answer is "Nothing" 80% of UCSD students got it wrong because they are probably to smart and keep trying to figure an answer out or say "i dont know"

Did you know that 80% of UCSD students could not answer the question above?  However, when asked to a kindergarten class 100% could.

---------------------------------------------------------------



The ANSWER: "no." The college students said they could not answer the question whereas the kindergarten students answered "can you find find what's wrong here?" with a response. "no." There is nothing wrong with the AAA BBB... the trick was in answering the question.

You all are morons. As stated before, the error is in the letters between HHH and JJJ. Normally, the sequence would appear as 3 uppercase "i"s. DENDING ON WHAT TEXT YOU USE TO TYPE IN, uppercase "i" appears the same as lowercase "L". For instance, look here ... Il....Can you tell what I wrote, or what "l" wrote, haha. That is in fact an uppercase "i" and a lowercase "L". You can't tell the difference. What is funny is that when I first saw this "riddle", the uppercase "i" was written in a text that clearly showed how an uppercase "i" should appear, with the vertical line and the two horizontals on the top and bottom. I myself am retarded for explaining this.

My mother believes that the students were told not to say anything so the professors wouldnt scold them when they were naughty. However, she also told me not to spill my broth last night all over poor nannys dressing gown and so i dont know whether to beleive her or not, she is useless.

My father (who does not live with my mother) also said the exact same thing!! Coincindence? Or just common knowledge? Oh by the way, for all you 'smart alecs' out there they have been 'divorced' for approx 3 slash 4 years.

>>>I Think the answer is that when they say "Repost this with the title 'what's wrong here', and when you click "post ", the answer will be really obvious...... ", they mean that the title when you repost it has an apostrophe, whereas the title on the actual post (or blog etc.) does not. Simple as.

OK.  The I's are not lower case L's.  that is wrong.  If you cut and paste it and convert it into a different font, the capital "i"s become apparent. 

The answer is the missing question mark in the line "what's wrong here".  The reason they say retype it in the subject line is because once you do it, you will most likely naturally place the question mark at the end of the question which should prompt the proper answer to the riddle for you.

I believe a sentence requires some ending punctuation. This is a question so I'd say the phrase "What's wrong here" needs to have a question mark. The word wrong also refers to moral wrongs. I'd argue that the KKK is a morally wrong organization. I'd argue the XXX materials degrade all involved.

i only read about half way down, and didnt find anyone else say my thought:

if the answer to the riddle was that there is no error, then the question would look something similar to "there is an error here, find it" rather than "find the error"

hope that makes sense. smiley

What a long thread, but it makes for better reading than the endless forwards. Here's my tuppence on the subject..

The first thing that is wrong is UCSD students wasting their time on a riddle, like they have nothing better to do - then forwarding it onto Facebook, Bebo etc.

The second wrong is the KKK, if you're being politically correct. The WWW is also wrong, if it's being abused by time-wasters such as the ones trying to solve this riddle. Aye, that includes me. The American Automobile Association (AAA) could also be defined as wrong thanks to its carbon footprint.

The third wrong (I'm grouping the abbreviations as one wrong) is the often lacking interpunction, grammar and spelling in many forwards.

And the fourth wrong is this post implying that twenty percent of UCSD students found an error. It is highly unlikely 100 percent of UCSD students were tested, especially as there is a turnover of graduates coming in and going out - so to say 20 percent see an error - or that 80 percent do not, is simply untrue.

The fifth fault is this being yet another spam message wasting my time.

The sixth is people being smart with upper case O for 0 and lower case L for capital I's et cetera, and myself being pedantic in a different manner now. It is wrong, evil even, how this post takes our disguise away and shows us the horrible people we are.. So don't you dare point at errors in my tuppence on this thread!

seriously everyone is thinking to hard about the error. Its simple, the error is that there is three of each letter. Obviously there is only one of each letter in the alphabet, so the error is just that, there is three of each letter, instead of one, which is what it is supposed to be.

Arja: One misspelling was "Its impossible". It is harmless mistake itself, but the consideration started if it has something to do with grammatical error.

And when the question isn't correct, it is obviously, that there are a lot of conclusions, what is the right answer, like OOO (letter) should be 000 (number) or vice versa, or maybe there is number between letters S5S etc.

This is quite old "enigma", I think it was maybe 2 years ago, when I first time saw this...

The error is found in the "lll". Instead of being capital i's, they were lower-case L's, and only appear to be an i. The correct form would be "...HHH III JJJ..." and not "...HHH lll JJJ...".
Potential problems: If this puzzle is expressed in a font that has no serifs, there is nothing wrong with the sequence (the uppercase I would be the same as a lowercase L).

Its obvious.... The only error here is that all those letters are CAPITAL LETTERS except "i" which here is used "l" (letter "l" like in love) instead of capital "i" which is  "I". Here you cant see this cause of the font we're using, if you'll past it into Word and change the font, than you can see the difference. In the original there was a question mark as well as apostrophy. :D

has any one thought that maybe the 80% of the people who got it wrong just made up an answer. and the 20% of the people who got it right said that there is nothing wrong with it. if this is true than the answer is there is nothing wrong and it is not impossible.

I really couldn't find it the error but i think this might be it.. its really hard to find.. especially because when people don't copy and paste and they retype it the lll is turned to III.. (this is in arial font but put it in times new roman so you see what i mean) I believe that sinse it's been retyped, there no longer is an error (except in grammar) however, i think that it's suposed to be that the three I's were actually lowercase L's

Arja: I know the answer, but you have changed the right question.
The original way this question was "'Find the error. It's impossible!" smiley


There is no question mark after here.

The I's are lower case L's

STOP YAPPIN about ohhh theres no error or ? marks and what not, that above is the only error. All the people here that are busting out theory's are just looking like idiots.

i know whats wrong, every letter is repeated three times....... it seems to obvious to be the answer but its true. wow i cant believe something this little as a stupid riddle attracts more attention then bigger problems like world hunger.

the capital i's are lower case L's so.... lll

i totally agree
but what i don't get is why some people go tit as   Find the error.  It's impossible!!! then i would have to say it's not impossible and that's the error

13 year old boy if it's a question followed by a series you would use a colon :
Personaly, I agree that there is no error and that we are forced to find one, which only gives more credit to the creator of this than is due.

well depending on what font it is it could be that they are lowercase L's instead of capital i's cuz in some fonts the capital i's have the horizontal lines at the top and bottom.

No apostrophe (') in "Whats wrong here"

It tells you that when you repost as "What's wrong here"... the answer will be obvious. Although he didn't post the original question... thats the ONLY answer.

on facebook it is capital i's instead of lower case l's..
anyway i think it could me that 20% realize that there is no error
when 80% are still wondering whether or not there is one
and the 'error' could be in the qestion itself
saying that there is an error and you that have to find it
when really there isn't one.
 375. Προσκεκλημένος | 2008-06-17 | Αγγλικά

the error is that if it is imposible then 20% could not find an answer because that would then render the question as a falacy

Now everyone, can we STOP the senseless spamming!? It's getting quite ridiculous. So, I decided to devote some time in thinking of the answer, and hopefully, putting an end to the incessant question and stopping the wall spamming.

Okay, there are 5 solutions. Choose the one that makes you happy.

1.) The capital i's are actually lower case L's. Read as I give an example. This is going to be a capitol i - I. This is a lowercase L - l. Could you tell the difference? 99.9% of you probably couldn't, and if you could, it's probably a placebo effect, because I told you so.

But, I remember this type of chain letter was also found using numbers, instead of letters (i.e. 000, 111, 222, 333, etc.) and people have argued that the zero's are actually the letter o, capitalized. So this solution may not be the most viable.

2.) "What's wrong here" has no question mark, no colon, not even a comma, which is simply a grammatical error in the posting.

But, I have also seen this chain letter start off by asking, "Find the error. It's Impossible!" Which means, the fact that the beginning sentence can vary, lowers the importance of the first sentence - which could just be a personal preference and it lessens the viability of this solution.

3.) To segue-way from that last thought, let's get more critical in thinking. If it's impossible to find answer, then how could it be that 20% of UCSD students found an answer? Since it's not an open-ended question, 80% couldn't find the error, hence the other 20% did find one. So, the question states that it's not possible, yet, 20% of UCSD students say they found one - just because the question asked for them to find an error, they said they found one - this shows the suggestibility of thought in our feeble human minds.

4.) The error is proven through a finite loop. If you read the question initially, there is no error, but because you re-read and/or repost to find the error, you find that the error is that there is no error, but told there is an error. Do you get it? Okay read carefully - the fact that there is no error, but told there is an error, is an error in itself.

Okay... but, I really don't think the creator of this chain letter was this smart or had thought this through as much as I did. Even more so, expected adolescents to think about it this way. So, where do we find ourselves? Well, at my last solution, which I think is the most viable.

5.) Simply, it is a spam tool. Due to the near impossibility or ambiguity of the answer, recipients would willfully, being self-motivated, repost the chain letter in hopes of finding the answer [as self-motivation is the greatest incentive in human behavior, as oppose to fear motivation (e.g. respost this or send to 10 friends or you will LOSE ALL your friends!!!) and reward motivation (e.g. repost this or send to 10 friends and you will get MORE friends!!!)] This method would cause a type of hysteria, exponentially gaining more people to repost the message - people seeking for an answer.

But, you ask, there is no message or meaning in this chain letter, what motivation do the creator(s) have in having everyone repost this over and over? Well, simply seeing an entire community, or even an entire generation of youth, send emails, post on boards, post on walls and even me, taking the time to write this frickin' note, is reason enough to create such a thing.

It's power. To see that all these people are magnifying your creation and even more so, being fooled by your clever prank, is more than enough reason to create such a thing, seeing how successful it - it's message, and you, the creator, can become. That, I believe, is the true reason behind any chain letter and the answer behind this one.

Best,
Steven

P.S. The fact that I think and examine so closely and deeply such a petty thing like a chain letter, only makes one wonder how much I think about my belief in Christ Jesus and His effect on this world and all it's history - His Story. Ultimately, in my nearly 23 years of life, I have found no better answer than that Jesus Christ IS God and Savior - more importantly, He does love you and has a wonderful and fulfilling plan for your life.



KKK is what is wrong here. At least, thats the answer they are lookin for.

its impossible because there is no answer, its made to trick you into looking for an answer that doesnt exist

So the problem is the questions mark. The other way it can be posted is "Whats wrong here" and there it is the apostrophe.

Did you know that 80% of UCSD students could not find the error above?

Well... actually I also don't know! this is just someone asked me... so who can tell what's wrong here???

Arja: I know the answer, but you have changed the right question.
The original way this question was "'Find the error. It's impossible!" smiley

to be honest, its hardly like we need to go on about it and make massive posts on this. if that question on this page is the original, then its just that theres no question mark after 'whats wrong here'....go on about it as much as you like but thats the only thing it can be in this particular version.

zhenni: The first question is supposed to be "Whats wrong here?" and then the error is the missing apostrophe. Jimmy corrected the error, so in his version above, there really is nothing wrong.
the question is "find THE ERROR" and in the end it said "THE ERROR" its just really obvious

If that question is in test and the answer really is small L between 2 capital "i"s you should be really clever to notice it.. as the font may be quite same.
