Got this via email today, I haven't seen it before, it's really weird!! (sorry if it's already been posted - haven't been around recently) Grin

How many F's are there in the following text?

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS ...
(see below)

Managed it ?
Scroll down only after you have counted them, okay?

Do you think there are three?

Wrong, there are 6 !!
Read it again.
The reasoning behind it 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.

I read through it twice, the first time i got 3 the 2nd time i got 6.

I didn't cheat either.

Just got DH to do it, he said 3. lol very strange!

Piffle · 31/05/2006 23:03

I can only get 5?

Piffle · 31/05/2006 23:03

lisalisa · 31/05/2006 23:06

frumpygrumpy · 31/05/2006 23:06

My GOD!!! I've at last found something I'm good at! I got 6 - first time! I'm so excited, I'm SHIT at EVERYTHING Grin.

Gona be difficult trying to explain my talent to people though......

Ulysees · 31/05/2006 23:06

Ulysees · 31/05/2006 23:07

frumpy, make yourself a certificat I would!! Grin Well done!

Ulysees · 31/05/2006 23:07

certificate*

frumpygrumpy · 31/05/2006 23:11

Yeah, a certificate! Might keep the wrapping off a chocolate biscuit (ahem, not that I EVER buy or eat the things) so I can do a proper seal.

Mind you, I didn't just glance over it, I was looking extra hard. Ah well, I do clean toilets quite thoroughly Grin.

nursetigger6 · 31/05/2006 23:19

frumpygrumpy · 31/05/2006 23:29

Jeez, another chocolate biscuit I'll have to eat for milge.....

KommandantColditz · 31/05/2006 23:56

no-o-o-o.

I got 6 and I know I'm not a genius, and I've got a 6 week old baby!

it doesn't work on women, that's what!

collision · 31/05/2006 23:57

3......how weird

LadyTambaOfTambaTown · 31/05/2006 23:59

I can only get 4 even knowing that there are 6 Blush

singledadofthree · 01/06/2006 00:01

damn - i only got 3

redsky · 01/06/2006 00:07

I got 5 first go. Then when I knew there were 6 it took me ages to find the missing one! Bizarre.

SaintofGeorgia · 01/06/2006 00:10

Actually find it quite stange the people don't get 6 first time. Tried it on DH though and he got 3.

KommandantColditz · 01/06/2006 00:11

But StG I am sure I read a thread saying you were G&T at school, so you probably are a genius!!

misdee · 01/06/2006 00:14
