The incomplete fragment
had had had had had had had had had had had h

The above frament of text was found. We know that there were no further words within this passage, but we do not know what words may have preceded and followed it (including letters to complete the word that starts with the final h). Worse yet, the scribe omitted all punctuation and any capitalization.

It was a perfectly understandable sentence, without tricks. Your task? To reconstruct by supplying puntuation and the leading and trailing language.

...had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher

...is how I heard it. Your version has one more "h".



Another puzzle along the same lines (for those who already know the answer to the above tickler) is to punctuate/capitalize this short paragraph:

that that is is that that is not is not that that is is not that that is not that that is not is not that that is is not that so
