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 | אנגלית
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 | אנגלית
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 | אנגלית
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 | אנגלית
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 | אנגלית
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 | אנגלית
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...
8. sen | 2007-12-2 | אנגלית
smileyhoho~~
9. אורח | 2007-12-2 | אנגלית
The Is are lowercase Ls.
10. אורח | 2007-12-2 | אנגלית
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. אורח | 2007-12-3 | אנגלית
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. אורח | 2007-12-3 | אנגלית
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. אורח | 2007-12-3 | אנגלית
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. אורח | 2007-12-3 | אנגלית
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 | אנגלית
Actually it would be interesting to know *what* the errors where that 20% of the students supposedly could find... smiley
16. אורח | 2007-12-3 | אנגלית

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 | אנגלית
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 | אנגלית
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.

24. zhenni | 2007-12-5 | אנגלית
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 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.

from too much time on my hands,

30. אורח | 2007-12-5 | אנגלית
I read somewhere that what the 20% found is that there is NO error and then moved on wth their lives. The other 80% spent time trying to find an error just because they assumed it exists. Stupid spam I agree...smiley
31. אורח | 2007-12-5 | אנגלית
there is no question mark...
32. אורח | 2007-12-6 | אנגלית
i've always wanted to know the answerrr.
and i cant find one.
so im guessing itts that 20 % found something wrong, when there isnt.

its just wrong full stop lol wrong wrong wrong wrong! coz its stupid. probably is the ? tho..but still wrong and stupid
37. אורח | 2007-12-6 | אנגלית
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. אורח | 2007-12-6 | אנגלית
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. אורח | 2007-12-6 | אנגלית
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. אורח | 2007-12-6 | אנגלית
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).

goodnight!

45. luckyboy2709 | 2007-12-6 | אנגלית
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 ?

now can you find the error?
48. אורח | 2007-12-7 | אנגלית
I found the error.

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.
49. אורח | 2007-12-7 | אנגלית
LOL it is so funny and I know what it is so many people get hung up on it and it is so easy every one is thinking way to hard..
50. אורח | 2007-12-7 | אנגלית
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"
51. Anders | 2007-12-7 | אנגלית

52. אורח | 2007-12-7 | אנגלית

Hmm, that one guy at the top has quotes followed by an apostrphe, instead of just quotes.  Plus, there was no closing apostrophe.

its the KKK thats wrong as in the evil group
56. zento | 2007-12-7 | אנגלית
I Belive the error is:

In "what's wrong here" there is a "?" missing....
In "Whats wrong here?" There is a " ' " missing between the t and the s of Whats

Cheers!
57. אורח | 2007-12-7 | אנגלית
I think that mistake is 't'.there is a different symbol from trible 't'
58. tish1974 | 2007-12-7 | אנגלית
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.
59. jessepederson | 2007-12-8 | אנגלית
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"

T H E  E R R O R :D

voila folks. i found the error.
60. אורח | 2007-12-8 | אנגלית
the KKK are not evil, they are just ignorant and mislead.
61. אורח | 2007-12-8 | אנגלית
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.
62. אורח | 2007-12-8 | אנגלית
i think the error is the question
there is no error
that is the error
ha ha ha
63. אורח | 2007-12-8 | אנגלית
good to know..yes tell me : what's wrong here
