Any guesses?

[happytailsrattery]

no guess, "B"ut I would like a "B" please!

[Fuzzy317]

P please. can't figure out one word.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

H, for me, please.

[luckies4me]

Sorry MOFF H has allready been guessed.


Here is the puzzle everyone. I should get some guesses now because it is really easy! Good Luck evryone as this is going to be neck and neck.

Researchers at two uni-ersities ha-e disco-ered that blood o- both the

European and
A-rican hed-eho-s contains a lipoprotein identical to one o- those -ound in

human
blood. This lipoprotein contributes to the -ormation o- clots that cause

heart attac-s.
In the past, this particular lipoprotein was only -ound in humans and a -ew

nonhuman
primates. Research is presently bein- conducted and our pric-ly little -riends

may
e-entually contriute a solution to a human health problem.

[Randi]

I've sent a guess

[luckies4me]

Congrats to you Randi! You are the big winner for the day. So what are you going to do next? He he!

Thanks to all who played and I hope you found this fun. Here is the completed puzzle as guessed by Randi:




Researchers at two universities have discovered that blood of both the European

and African hedgehogs contains a lipoprotein identical to one of those found in

human blood. This lipoprotein contributes to the formation of clots that cause

heart attacks. In the past, this particular lipoprotein was only found in humans

and a few nonhuman primates. Research is presently being conducted and our

prickly little friends may eventually contribute a solution to a human health

problem.


Isn't this interesting?

[Randi]

I'll start the next tomorrow, so everybody can have a little break!

[luckies4me]

sounds good to me. Especially cuz I have to go to a wedding in three hours, don't want to miss the vowels, he he!
