    What is not normal with this paragraph? I’m curious how quickly you can find out
    what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing is wrong with it.
    In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It isn't ordinary though. Study it, and think about it,
    but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.
    Try to do so without any coaching!

    According to the post times it took you three minutes to realise there are no "e"s in the paragraph...
    Pfft, I saw it before I'd got halfway through the second sentence.

    It's because I'm moving so fast...

    It is self-referential, repeatedly, in every sentence except, arguably, the last, where 'it' might be referring to studying the paragraph, rather than the paragraph itself. This is abnormal and more important that the fact that it is missing 'e'.

    A narcissistic paragraph.

    There is no letter "Z" in this paragraph. Z of course being my favorite letter and should be found somewhere.
