Are you a Mensa genius?

[WillVT]

When I was a kid, we had a little book of puzzles put out by the Mensa high IQ society. For some reason, this one always stuck with me.

Can you add punctuation to the following string of words, and form a grammatically correct sentence?

James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher

[Joe Roberts]

James while John had had had had had had had had had had had ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,a better effect on the teacher.

 

[Mr.Jim]

No

 

[old_tv_nut]

James, while John had had "had," had had "had had"; "had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.

 

[WillVT]

James, while John had had "had," had had "had had"; "had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.

We'll that was quick! Game over.
You are now a member of the high IQ society!

Punctuation saves lives:
Let's eat Grandma.
Let's eat, Grandma.
