Martin Kruskal, a Princeton physicist, discovered a strange mathematical property that appears to apply to all written text. Follow the steps listed below to discover this weird phenomenon.
Consider Steve Jobs’ famous commencement speech to Stanford University students in 2005:
Step 1: Select any word from any of the first ten words and count the number of letters in that word.
Step 2: Count that many words forward through the passage to land on a new word. (For example, if you chose “limited” in Step 1, count forward 7 words to “else’s”)
Step 3: Count the number of letters in the new word and move forward that many words.
Step 4: Repeat Steps 1 through 3 until there are not enough words to complete the last word count.
Step 5: Write down the last word on which you land.
No matter which word you use to start the steps, you will always land on the same word (In this case “to”). Weird, huh?
*verified by most of the text but still possibilities of exception 'may' be there.......not easy to find.......
