Oldtimers Disease

.

Dear Readers:

This is supposed to be a real test, but doubt lingers in The Editor's mind because he was
able to pass without much problem.

Hmmm. I wonder if he cheated??

1- Find the C below...do not use the cursor.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 

2- If you already found the C, now find the 6.

If you were able to pass these three tests, cancel your annual
visit to your neurologist. Your brain's in great shape and you're
far from having a close relationship with:

 
Mr. Alzheimer
 

Now... If you can read the below you have a strange mind. The Editor was more than confident that he'd pass this test since people have been telling him for some years now that his mind is stranger than strange.

I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg.  Aoccdrnig to a sutdy at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, due to the phaonmneal pweor of the mnid it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are. The olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it whotuit a pboerlm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

Only 55% can read the above according to those in the know at Cambridge University. Suddenly, my Son's term papers make a lot more sense to me than they used to.
