Quick eye examination

It's an old one but worth another look.


Quick Eye Exam...

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 - 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 forward this to your friends, but for the subject write if you got it right or wrong. And please don't lie because it will spoil all the fun of this forward!

Hmm, I got six. Maybe because English is not my native language, so I was more careful in looking for them?
