Quick Eye Exam...

This will blow your mind...!

Just do it - don't cheat!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try this its actually quite good.

But don't cheat!

Count the number of F's in the following text:

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

Managed it?

Scroll down only after you have counted them!

OK?

How many?

Three?

Wrong, there are six - no joke!

Read again!

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

The reasoning is further down...

The brain cannot process the word "OF".

Incredible or what?

Anyone who counts all six F's on the first go is a genius
Three is normal.

When i did it first i thought this is easy.. i then re read it when it said 3 was wrong.. and still was like.. what???? Only when it mentioned OF did i realise i had skipped over them without knowing.. i did not read word for word i was speed reading both times.

eddhorse · 03-03-2003 1:21pm

seen it before thats why i got 6 this time , i defo got 3 the first time , damn it

Polonious · 03-03-2003 1:37pm

Got 6, but i was being really careful counting it cos i knew it was a trick!

D nominater · 03-03-2003 1:46pm

thats outstanding. i'd say it's just a reading thing, if you said it to people they would be much more likely to get all six. if of was in a prone position like:of all the people here who are you the son of?
(and if the only f's were in of,as above)
then they'd probably get it as well.
I guess we instinctively know that of isn't really a real word.
Sherr,course it isn't,all the things,'of' a real word, that's making fun the english language.:rolleyes:

exiztone · 03-03-2003 10:00pm

I got 4 actually.
Guess it puts me somewhere in the middle.

Zanza · 03-03-2003 10:18pm

I got 6, but in a way, I am not a genius!! =/

Hobart · 03-03-2003 10:19pm

Got 3. And have TBH. I read it twice (second time really carefully) because I knew there had to be a trick. Hmm v.good

DMT · 03-03-2003 10:20pm

Ever notice how you never actually read the damn statement.
I will not be bwain-rashed into believing that "finished files" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean) is the result of any amount of "scientific study" or "years of experience" (experience in what?).

It's a conspiracy....

ironbrew · 03-03-2003 10:47pm

i got 6 but only becoz ive did that b4!!

Gordon · 03-03-2003 10:52pm

Hey, on a related note, did you know that there is in existance a book that is written entirely without the letter "E". It was originally written in french without the letter E and then translated into english without the letter e. heh.

I got all the "F"'s but I doon't think I did the first time i saw it. It certainly does teach you to rtfm (READ THE FECKIN MANUAL) before you do anything.

Thats freaky, explains why i miss so much in my lectures do, im missing the obvious the whole time!! Here was me blaming my lecturers, the truth hurts:(

Praetorian · 04-03-2003 1:11pm

Definitely not a genius
