    figured out it was a mirror image and got as far as 'the answer is...'

    I wonder if someone that is dyslexic would 'see' it right away?

    I showed this to my DH & DD and they couldn't figure it out either. Then I told DD to go to the 2nd page and look and she ran to her bedroom to read it...And still got it wrong....LOL

    Did you design it yourself. Great idea. I started looking and was able to get a few letters. After my eyes crossed and started rolling around thought I should stop. lol

    Yep. The spouse and I put together puzzle events. We're always working on the next one. This puzzle was being debated. Its content would be more theme related, but the 'style' of the puzzle would be the same. The puzzle hunt we're working on this week is themed around the seven ancient wonders of the world.

    I don't understand ...tell me the what answer... what is a what answer?

    Oh, I should have read all the posts. That really threw me, I thought it was part of the puzzle.

    Yep...me, too. I get optical migraines and this is exactly what they look like...except that they flash more than these lines did.

    Nope. My dyslexic DD just looked at it, no luck. Took to the mirror and got THE right! :lol:

    Me....I now have a headache. :(
