It's EYE EXAM time! (Take the test!)

[Bennyboy]

Quick eye exam, DO NOT CHEAT AND READ DOWN!!!!!!!!!!

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 -
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 pompus asshole!
Three is normal

[Shell Beau]

1. Damn! And I counted twice!! Duh!

[supernova]

2. I saw five

But I realized the "trick."

Cute quiz.

[AllegroRondo]

3. darn, I counted 6

when it said "count the number of F's" I started reading the paragraph backwards - an editing trick. It forces you to look at spelling rather than just reading.

[Orrex]

4. I got twelve

I'm twice as pompous as any other asshole here.

[Highway61]

5. counted twice

got 3 twice. I am going for a walk...I really need to get out more often.

[kentauros]

6. But getting three twice equals six

Shouldn't there be seven, counting the first 'f' in "F's" ;)

[LynneSin]

7. Guess I'm a pompous asshole

But I've also seen the test before

[Squatch]

8. I've seen this test before and *still* only counted 3.

[Bennyboy]

9. Don't go blind!!!!

[rug]

10. Dammit, I was counting the "I"s.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. I got six on the first try.

Yay! I'm a pompous asshole!

[Deja Q]

12. Four on first try, Can't believe I missed two of them...

:crazy:

[JoePhilly]

13. WTFFFFFF!!!!!

[BrotherBuzz]

14. I counter five the first time

I counter then again, and there are still only five f's in the statement. :shrug:
