Default How Many F's

Interesting

ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST

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...



HOW MANY ?

WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.

READ IT AGAIN !

Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.




The reasoning behind is further down.




























The brain cannot process 'OF'.

According to the email very official source! if you get them first time

"Anyone who counts all 6 'F's' on the first go is a genius. "

Problem with a forum is everyone will say they did ..

Least this will make a few people smile as they try

If read it carefully, you will always get six - If you scan read, which everyone normally does, you will get three.

Trouble is, when you say "Count the number of F's" automatically you are going to be careful.

And of course, come up with 6.

The claim that the brain is somehow flummoxed by the word "of" is clearly ludicrous.

Also, it doesn't help that this puzzle was in fact copied from a pre-historic wall carving found at Stone-henge, and it thought to be older than time itself.

I don't get it, I got 6 straight away.
Maybe as I didn't read it as a sentence, but just went through all the letters counting the F's. Thats what we were asked to do, count the F's.

Next.

Where did I say I wasn't interested

Your definition of "troll" seems to be anyone who has a differing opinion or who points out your inadequacies.

So i've managed nearly 40,000 posts without bing reported or banned, but now YOU'VE decided in your infinite wisdom to brand me a troll, simply because your inane drivel just isn't true

have to say, i saw 6 too.

and the notion that the brain "can't process 'of'" seems a lot suspect.
