Count the number of F's in the following text...
Do not scroll down until you have completed counting the F's.

FINISHED FILES ARE THE
RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS
















Managed it?




Done counting?




Ok?












How many?











Three?












WRONG! There are SIX----no joke!





Try again!

The brain cannot process the word "OF."


Anyone who counts all six F's on the first go is a genius.
Three is normal.
 
Man, You are too werid sometimes I wondered why I put up with you:)















*Just Kidding* :ily: :hug:
 
i counted 5 but then i saw that before so i already knew what to expect and what to look lol
 
I counted 4 so I failed. Wow, I don't realize that most of our brains tend to not count 'of' in the sentences. that is quite interesting. Beowulf, good topic :thumb: I love any topics that made me think.
 
I counted 4.

I am a speedreader and I always skimp over words such as to/the/of/for/etc. I usually read an average of 3 to 4 books a week.

Good one!!!!
 
I guess that makes me a genius, ha, ha.

Good point. Once they are in 'fight or die' emotional state, I don't think they even use their brains to think.
 
I counted 5.. but i re-read.. ahh.. there's 6
not bad for my old age ! :D
 
I counted 6 too! ;)

I've done this many times. This is a common mistake that most hearing people make.
