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


I have been puzzled with this for months, and I just can't figure it out...anyone know what the error is??

The error is right out in the open. The letters are not supposed to be in triplicate.

there is no error of any form whether it be the word "error" itself or any other formation of the meaning, the only exception being that the 3 v's next to each other when typed resemble a W.. like so... VVV.... other than that, the riddle is purely alphabetical thus there is no error therefore makeing it impossible to solve

the error that 80% of the students fail to find is the very word "error" itself in the first line of the riddle......

I think this may be one of those stupid riddles where the error is in the phrasing of the question. For the word "error" itself to be the error, is a bit unfair, though.

The fact that the letters are in triplicate could be an error, but as that's the way the problem is presented, I'm not too sure.

"Try to find the error. It's impossible"

I'd say it's always possible to "try", even if you fail to find anything. So the question itself is self-contradictory.
