Z,Y,X,W...
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
Angela made a bet with her friend Alex. The bet was that Angela would win $50 if she could say the alphabet in reverse within 5 seconds. If not, Alex would win $50. Angela walked away fifty bucks richer. How did she do it?

Posted by ThinksForFun on Oct 18, 2012 Or why not Angela says, "the alphabet in reverse"? |

Posted by Marple on Oct 19, 2012 Very easy but fun  It's like when Dave says to Dan "Say goodnight, Dan" so Dan says "Goodnight Dan"  |

Posted by Zag24 on Oct 20, 2012 Or, she could just do what was implied. I just checked, I can say, "zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba" (saying the name of each letter) in a smidge under 4 seconds. It actually flows better backwards than forwards: tee-essarcupeeohenem is easier than emenohpeecue-are-esstee, for instance. |

Posted by boodler on Oct 23, 2012 I agree; "the alphabet in reverse" or "alphabet the". Prefer the first.  |

Posted by 30angel100 on Nov 08, 2012 Too easy. |

Posted by HABS2933 on Dec 09, 2012 I too thought that she just actually recited the alphabet backwards. I (along with many other ppl I know who also have East Coast roots) learned the alphabet backwards as children. In fact most of us knew it backwards months before we knew it forward. I can still recite it faster in reverse than I can in the "proper order" |
