I saw this on another forum, so I thought I'll post it here. 
See how your logic is in figuring this out:
This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

You just have to look at the paragraph and see what is unusual about it basically. I'll reply again whenever someone gets the real answer.

well, the tense changes, horrible grammar and punctuation leaves much to be desired for. Does it have something to do with that?

Yeah, Silent is right. It's unusual because 'e' is the most commonly used letter in the English language.
Here's another one.
A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in.
What should have he said?

I'm not guessing on this... You might ask "why?" With 2 sets of data to base an answer off of, think of how many possible answers there are. I find this puzzle stupid and pointless. The last one was decent though, if you have a nice understanding of the English language that is. You people also need to work on grammar (har har I love that one! I am a moron; hear me roar! 
) Just to be silly, here is a mistake. I like being a dork.
What is wrong with this? How should it be written? Test your knowledge of the English language! (I probably have several mistakes myself; I'm testing dangerous waters here.)
ANSWER: I am smarter than he.
-Don't ask me the rule; I just know that if elongated it would read something like this: I am smarter than he is smart.
First off if you thought any were wrong, you would be incorrect yourself. They're all written correctly.
ANSWER: b. I stood by Robert.
Why? I don't know the name of the rule or what it says exactly. It deals with the location of the prepositional phrase. Go look up the rules yourself. I'm horrible at remembering rules, but I can write well (or so I tell myself). I couldn't care less (and it startles me how many people would say, "I couldn't care more," which is completely wrong in the context they're thinking of) what the rules say, as long as I can write well. There is your education to ward of summer stupidity. Ah yes, if you see any mistakes, please feel free to shoot me down for them. Thank you.
EDIT: How do you get 3 out of this?

It is obvious now, wasn't thinking earlier.
Twelve is actually six letters, six is actually three letters, and ten is, yes thats right three letters. It was simple and i didn't see it.

Till i saw the living part i was going to saw because that is the age he died at, so it got harder.
that would make it 1788, maybe he was born at 1753, also known as 5: 53pm?
