Equal text



I don't feel like checking this letter by letter, but it's pretty amazing if it's true.

It most definitely does.

Eh, I don't want to be "THAT" guy, but it doesn't match up. Atleast not from what I'm seeing. Accordingly the first text has 168 characters - including punctuation. The second has 192 - including punctuation. The lines break down into
4,4,3,3,3
6,2,3,5
1,5,4,3,6
3,4,1,4,2,2,2
6,9,3
5,5,6,3
5,11
4,4,1,4,2,4
3,5,4,2,3
For the first message and
5,6,9
2,7,4,1
8,3,4,1,2
1,9,2,3
9,2,4,4
4,4,1,3,4,1
5,2,5,4,3
7,3,7
6,1,6,3
2,7,6,1,3
5,4,3,4,1
For the second.

If I would suggest checking the character lineups, I would suggest "D" first as I'm reading 4 for the original and 7 for the second. Then either "E" or "S" (E being with 27, 29 ratio; S with an 8,10 ratio)

But it's a pretty cool concept.

ah ah ah, there is a comma in the second. I don't see one in the first...

comma in the first block of text is at the end of 3rd line

Rachel said...

@ anon

The comma in the first is at the end of the third line. Look harder.

chich said...

Kyle, I think you skipped the 'd's in any word 'and' in the first, because I counted 7. Also, I counted all the letters, got 186 for one and 187 for the other. Probably a miscount.

Bethany said...

There's a comma in the first...after the word "first"

Anonymous said...

there is a comma in the first one, right after the word "first."

Agent Z said...

@kyle
U douche!
both have 187 characters, just type both texts into word and click on the word count on the bottom right corner!
I counted the letters upto n (after cutting off the word ´this` from both texts) and they match up to that point. Given that the only other major letters i didn´t count are r´s and s´s and that they don´t form any words by themselves with any characters left after n in this text, the two HAVE to match up! Stop pulling down other peoples work without actually putting any effort into checking the stuff!
Srry if i got a little hot headed there...

Agent Z said...

Oh, and whoever anonymous is, both have a comma, in the first text after ...I wrote this one first,... and the second text has one in ... into very form,...

Jessica. said...

The comma in the first text is following the word "first."

It works perfectly. I'm a nerd, so I typed out each text into Word (making absolute sure they were copied exactly...trust me, I'm a transcriptionist by trade,) and deleted one character at a time in the left text as it appeared in the right. Nothing left over! Brilliant! :)

Now that's a job Kyle.
I wanted to be "that guy" but its you:) thanks
These lollilickers think we believe all their bullsaliva. If they have a good idea, why don't they take the effort to do it real? Too much work probably. I'm gonna make a real one!

What a complete waste of time and mental energy. Go find something to do that ill make the world a better place.

lol besides the text, the second tablet has a shadow on it. Depending on how you are sitting you can see the image of a "person" and their wink. Just saying

Craig Berger said...

keep in mind that the names "Christian Bok" and "Micah Lexier" are almost certainly made up, and were probably added afterwards to give the second person a little more flexibility in creating his text. Makes it a BIT easier.

ah- so many focused on whether or not such a thing was accomplished and failed to see the comforting and artistic humor that went into it. I loved it :)- well done.

191 characters, they are indeed identical. Yay for programming:

>> sort A
== {,...aaaaaaaaaaaaaabbccddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeffggghhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkllmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooop...
>> sort B
== {,...aaaaaaaaaaaaaabbccddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeffggghhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkllmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooop...
>> (sort A) = (sort B)
== true
>> length? A
== 191

Christian Bok is actually pretty amazing, I met him at a performace he gave a couple of years ago. He has a book out called "Eunoia," which is the shortest word that contains all the vowels and he dedicated a chapter to each of them. In their respective chapter he doesn't use any other vowel and the pieces are entirely coherent.

There is a B in both and an N in neither.

This was probably done by some guy on acid and he did this within a matter of 6 minutes
