Test your eyes


Count every "F " in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
(SEE BELOW)






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? Go back and look again!!



Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a  genius.
Three is normal, four is quite rare.

  Send this to your friends.
It will drive them crazy.! And keep them occupied
for several minutes..!

I got six - probably because I used to be a writer and had to proofread things - now why doesn't that genius thing work for law school?

I got 4.  Somehow I got one of the "F's" but not the other two.

I got six too.  I guess all my yearbook copy editing has paid off, although I did get to the third line and did a double take and went back and counted those OFs.

I got six too. I haven't been a writer or editor, but I do always notice mistakes in newspapers and books. . .


Edited to add that if there was a quiz on the content of the sentence, I would bomb.

I got 6. English major. And don't worry Dizzy, it'll start paying off in law school sooner or later. I think my spelling and grammar was the only thing that got me through Contracts. It sure wasn't my knowledge of K's.

Ditto. I got six, too. Probably b/c of journalism and all the writing I do at work. Although, I have to say, I'm not the best proofreader when it comes to my own work.
