apparently theres different versions with different wording, but the one i've seen is

Did you know that 80% of UCSD students could not find the error above? Repost this with the title "what's wrong here", and when you click "post ", the answer will be really obvious.

Thinking outside the box, what's wrong is that 20% of UCSD students COULD find the error, given that there isn't one.

Wrong in what way? Considering it's fairly simple to see that the error is the 'riddle' has no error? Which in itself is an error.

I see which perspective you're coming from though

You could also say that what's wrong is 80% of students could not find the words 'the error' in the first sentence

"What's" is a contraction of "What is" so it should have an apostrophe. The reason it didn't have one on Facebook is that people generally suck at teh grammar.

I wasn't saying that " What's " isn't the correct grammar, but when i'v seen it on facebook its always been in the form

"Whats wrong here?"

Hence the 'repost with the title "What's wrong here" ' and it all making sense .

I understand the whole; there is no error thing though

I'm to blame for the "What's", I changed the word when I pasted it here. I couldn't stand the grammatical error.
