Count the "F's" in the following text:

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

How many did you count?
Rep awarded to the first person who gets it right.

6................?

Most people miss "OF" ?

**strayjuliet** · 16th January 2006, 22:38

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.

And the first time Juliet showed it to me I got all 6 - Looks like Biff and I are equally observant - or pedantic, or just pure genius.

You didn't use to proof-read code, perchance, Biff?

THERE ARE NONE, NOTE THE "F's". HAHAHAHA I WIN. THAT MEANS IT HAS TO BE F'S BECAUSE OF THE QUOTATION MARKS. OTHERWISE I WILL SAY 3

edit: WHAT A TRICKY ONE WITH THE OF. NICE.

So my school teachers were right - they often used to tell me I was a genius...

**kels** · 17th January 2006, 07:07

Yup I got 6

**Dafe** · 17th January 2006, 07:07

I got 6, But must admit my eyes wondered past it first before I actually processed it. So I very nearly would have had 3 or 4. Good Trick!

How would it be if it was in lower case? Reading all upper case is not normal....no wonder no one can understand WINGA.In lower case picking out the tall letters would be easy - come back next year when we've forgotten and test us again in lower case....
