Did you know that 80% of UCSD students
could not find the error above? Repost
this with the title "Find the error, its impossible"
and when you click "Submit Post", the
answer will be really obvious

~HELP??

Answer 1

find "the error", its impossible

there is "the error"
or it could be the fact that it+is is it's not its

u supposed to notice once u repost it because when u open it would be the second time u see it

Answer 2

Well there's the bad grammar and punctuation. It should be:

Find the error. It's impossible.

There's five there. F, I, comma instead of period, no apostrophe, no period at the end.

And then the assertion that it is impossible is an error, also, since 20% of the students found the error. So that's six errors. And since there are six errors and not one, the instruction to find "the" error is also wrong, making seven errors altogether. If we even wanted to be more picky, many people would say that USCD should have periods after the letters. Others would disagree, though, according to Grammar Girl.

Answer 3

The error is in the posit. Look closely at what it says: "Did you know that 80% of UCSD students could not find the error above?" If we can assume that "its" is likely a typo, as I have seen it both ways, then the unlikely answer is that there are three instances of "error" above. More likely that the fact that there is always going to be a percentage that will not answer by either choice or circumstance. therefore 100% of UCSD could not find the error above (20% by omission). I have yet to find any reference that has posed this question (or any of its sister questions) to students at UCSD. which would be an error of its... ooops it's own.

Answer 4

According to the directions "find the error, its impossible" is the error. There should be an apostrophe between the 't' and the 's' in "Its" to make the contraction for "It is."

There is no error in the numbers.

Answer 5

The error is not in the numbers but rather in the title. However, you wrote it differently than I have seen it in other places, so the error is not apparent in your post.

The word "it's" is correct as a contraction of "it" and "is," but the more common post is written as "its" instead--which is the possessive form for the pronoun.

Answer 6

If your curious copy it paste it and throw it in Microsoft Word and see if it comes up with any errors. MS Word is already much more accurate in picking up errors than any college student is. I have already taken the liberty of doing so, and it did not find any Errors. But as we see in MS Excel when you enter into colums 000 it automatically takes away two of the zero's making it one Zero, so in Excel it looks like this

0
111
222
333...

So to answer this one once and for all
You don't need three zeros as written above "000" to establish the amount as zero. One zero is enough to say the amount IS "0".

Answer 7

Its should be it's or it is. I think the error is obvious, but could be hard to find because it looks like a typo. Also it sounds right when we read it.

Answer 8

it says "find the error its impossible" the error is "its impossible"

Answer 9

Improper use of its, when the correct word should be it's. The numbers afterward are a distraction.

Answer 10

When you use the contraction for "it is" you need to spell "its" as "it's". That is an amazingly common sign of bad grammar.
