Not So Much Of A Brain Teaser,

more of a memory test,


you have seen the letter printed countless times, but which is correct? so do you know how to write it? easy, right? well, not so fast, researchers at the Johns Hopkins University found that many people actually can't pick out the typeset form of the letter out of a lineup, "We would say: 'There're two forms of the letter, can you write them?' and people would look at us and just stare for a moment, because they had no idea," said first author Kimberly Wong, a junior undergraduate at Johns Hopkins, "Once you really nudged them on, insisting there are two types of the letter, some would still insist there is no second type of the letter." most people don't even know that two forms of the letter - one usually handwritten, the other typeset - exist, and if they do, they can't write the typeset one we usually see, they can't even pick the correct version of it out of a lineup, "They don't entirely know what this letter looks like, even though they can read it," said co-author Gali Ellenblum, a graduate student in cognitive science, so from the above which one is it that is written correctly? have a second look before you decide, then scroll down for the answer,
