Add punctuation to the following phrase to make something gramatically and logically coherent: is is not not not is not is is is is not is not is it not 'is' is not 'not'. 'Not' is not 'is'. 'Is' is 'is'; 'Not' is 'not'. is it not? Best I could come up with, lemme know.

i like my solution here "is is not not not is not is is is" is not "is not", is it not? maximal cheating (well i havent found anything with more cheating)

Here's an interesting alternative... Mine is a bit more Shakespearean, is it not? Ha - not it is. Anyway, here's my solution. is ‘is not’ not ‘not is’? 'not is' is. ‘is’ is not ‘is not’, is it not? Actually, the last question there might be a little funny, since usually when you ask "is it not?" you are trying to confirm a positive statement, not a negative one. But it basically works.

I kinda took the same route as brett so mine doesn't make as much sense as Rob's, but here it is: Is "is not" not "not is?" "Not is" is "is"; "is not" is "not," is it not? I cheated in that everything in quotes I pretended to be a noun of some sort, which could be reworded like, Is Brad not Steve? Steve is short; Brad is tall, is [he] not?

Is is not not. Not is not is. Is is is. Not is not. Is it not?

or to be more gramatically annoying. "Is" is not "not." "Not" is not "is." "Is" is "is." "Not" is "not." Is it not?

| Maximal cheating would be this: "is is not not not is not is is is" is not "is not is it not"

Similar question: Punctuate the following: it's over over over over over over over over over over Answer below (scroll down) . . . . . . . . . . . It's a conversation between 2 people on a walkie-talkie or similar device where the protocol is to end each message with the word 'over'. 2 people who had been dating are breaking up. One party can't believe it, and asks for 2 confirmations: Girl: "It's over. Over." Guy: "Over? Over." Girl: "Over! Over." Guy: "Over?? Over." Girl: "Over!! Over."
