Quick Eye Exam...

This will blow your mind...!

Just do it - 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.

damn that was tricky but really a nice one

That's why you read it backwords. Same when you spell check a paper, if you look at the word (letter in this case) not following the story you can pick on on things that otherwise you would miss.

I did, but maybe because this has been around the internet 9.752 times.

counted about 5 Fs when i did this say, uh, ... 4 years ago?

It isn't that the brain can't process "of." that's really mangled from the original. the reasoning is the brain recognizes a "v" instead of an "f," due to phonetics.

I counted 6, and this is the first time i've done it.....
