Title: How many can you count...
Post by: Smilodon29A on February 27, 2005, 15:51:19
Read this text and count how many letters "F" you find, than read on:


FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS


How many letters "F" did you count ?
Are you sure?


then check it


3, 4 and 5 are wrong, the correct answer is ''6''.

According to the people who made this human brain cannot
easily understand words such as ''OF''.

I thought there were 3 F's.

Lets see can you count 6 in the first try :)

It is because "of" sounds more like "ov" that it is mistaken for a "v" instead ov being counted as an "f".

I got 6 the first time I saw this elsewhere. Of coursse you only have my word for this. Is this significant spotting all 6 before reading on and finding out the "why" people spot 3 normally thing?

It means that you were really looking at the words and paying attention to what you were doing.

I counted 3, 6 and 9, but that's because it depends on what you look at.

I counted 3 first, then when it said there were 6 I looked at everything else (including the directions) and found 3 more. I then scrolled down and wow, where did those 'of's come from?

Ignoring silent letters is a feature of the brain, not a failure.
