    Quick eye exam

    Quick Eye Exam...



    This will blow your mind!




    Just do it -- don't cheat!!!!!!!!!!!!






    Try this, its actually quite good.






    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.




    Now post your answer, right or wrong.
    And please don't lie because it will spoil all the fun of this post.

        Got all six.

        They are betting on speed readers skipping the less important words
        such as ' of ' thats why slower readers tend to see it the first time.

                        I guess it's down to the way you approach the problem then.

                        It's said ' Count the number of F's in the following text '.

                        So I ignored the words completely and just scanned along lines looking for the letter 'F'.

                        Bingo!

                          I got 5, just zoomed over the first "of". So I guess I am not normal.

                          But then I work on copiers. Underpaid, overworked, unloved but after all that I love my job.
