This will amaze you.

Count the "F's" in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS










Managed it ? Scroll down only after you have counted them,
okay?













How many ? 3?
Wrong, there are 6 !!--no joke.
Read it again.
The reasoning behind is further down.
The brain cannot process "OF".
Incredible or what ?
Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.
Three is normal, four is quite

It STILL trips me out too! i was positive i had the answer, went thru it and thru it, and I kept counting 4...I thought there had to be a catch, but nope, just my dumb old mind...lol

I'm just glad I wasn't the only one!

I got 5 so what does that make me? A dumb butt because I went
through it to quick and miss one.:(

I counted 6. But then I am in the teaching profession so I am kind of conditioned to it.

I didn't count and read the answer and went back and seriously looked and only found three. No hope for me today. That was cool.:p :p

I counted 6...but I have done text editing so I counted once forward...and then counted backward.

I found six but I am an English major hoping to go into editing (if I don't become famous:D ) so I pick up on that kind of stuff. That was fun though

me too! LOL my mother hates it! sometimes I'll sit and read a book with a pencil in hand and I correct the spelling as i read through the book :rolleyes: then mom will read it and see all my "corrections" according to her I sould become an editor cause I find tons of misspellings... maybe that could be my dream career? LOL :rolleyes:
