| Actually, I wrote one of these a few years ago at an entirely different forum. Of course, whenever I try to write anything the first obstacle is a blank white sheet of paper or in this case an empty text box. The task isn't made any easier if while typing it I have to make sure the whole paragraph follows a certain rule. I also worry if I'm really contributing to the community or just being an attention whore. In any case, if you figure out what the rule is, your next chore is to compose your own paragraph which follows the same rule. If you're wondering about the minimum requirement to prove you've solved it, just remember: three points make a circle, three notes make a chord, three Star Wars movies would have made a perfectly nice trilogy. |

| Guessing at one of these paragraph puzzles is always weird. You are forced to write long sentences just to hope you include the key. You worry about short sentences. The odds are very good that it is all a big waste of time. |

| Your strategy paid off to a certain extent. (I didn't realize what a pain this would be to check.) Although your post complies with the main rule, there is a sub rule which it misses. |

Actually that's the main rule. The "subrule" was that each sentence has to contain at least one word that contributes to the sequence. Otherwise, any sufficiently long post would comply, as marcusl's did. If I had it to do over again, I would make it exactly one word per sentence. That would make it more a single, coherent rule rather than the main rule/subrule nonsense.
Anyway, congratulations on finding it! |
