Yes I can although English is not my mother tongue. I don't believe the stat given (only 55% of people can read it). The first time I read a similar text it was in 2003 or 2004. I never met a single person unable to read these kind of texts.
I've read that if the words have more than 4 letters, the first and the last letter has to be the same as the original word, otherwise the comprehension is much harder.

As I said they have to keep the first and last letter of all the 4 letters long or longer words. Not for all words. (that is, if I remember well)

To me this says something very profound about how the mind is implemented in neural circuitry. This would make a nice project to work on: Write a neural network that draws a 3x3 box on the screen and interprets a number input by the use with his mouse. Using this information, and the organization of neurons in the mammalian cortex, propose a possible mechanism for how mind is able to interpret the mangled phrases above.
