Not quite so well for me.
Took me about 25-50% longer than it should have, and if everything I
read were so jumbled, I'd get massive headaches from reading, based on
the little bit that that one short passage did.
Now, reconstruct "deoxyribonucleic acid" in this manner and tell me you
understand exactly what you have there. :P (I used to read articles
out of Science magazine for my grandmother when I visited, and got good
at getting the pronunciation of long scientific words right the first
time -- but that system would totally mess me up.)
