Lol, wow
I dug up a "study" I did last October. (Weirdly, I checked the date - October 21. It was one year and one day ago.)
Anyway. The results were funny.
It's "An Experiment Conducted by _____ and _____"
The results were:
Four out of five randomly selected sixth graders knew when Christmas Day was.
Nine out of ten randomly selected sixth graders knew how to spell the word 'friend'.
Seven out of ten randomly selected sixth graders believed that Halloween fell on Friday the 13th that year when we told them it did.
Zero out of five randomly selected sixth graders could name one word with three consonants in a row (we gave them the example, "castle"). (Their exact replies were, 'I dunno', 'Egypt', 'Turkey', 'Don't know, don't care' and 'Castle is the only word like that'.)

Wouldn't 'tassle' work for the last one?
Or did it have to be 3 different ones?

Scratch is 'like a boss' because it has only one vowel.
Also, most of the English language cannot be typed without an 'e'
Words:
English
language
be
typed
epic
very

games
brett
GarSkutherGirl
etc.

Re: Lol, wow
Also, we did a quick test and told the same riddle to 5 different sixth graders and 5 different fifth graders
More fifth graders solved the riddle than sixth graders
It was an interesting day

Re: Lol, wow
I thought of schwa
Also, I looked it up and found some really good ones: rhythmless, catchphrase, psychology, physics [would those work with that 'y'? I'm not sure if it's in vowel in consonant form. I think vowel, but if consonant, then I'll say chrysanthemum]
