TEST: How many F's are there... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 03-30-2006, 08:07 PM

Received this in an email today:

See if you can find all of the "F's"

ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST

Count every " F" in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

HOW MANY ?

WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !

The brain cannot process "OF".

Haven't figured it out yet??? Neither did I at first so I thought I'd highlight the 6 "F's" for you to prove there really are 6!!!
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI

Interesting, huh??? It's funny how we can't see things when they're right in front of us. Something to think about.

Polniaczek033 · 03-31-2006, 08:46 PM

i only missed one F in one of the "of"s at first. oops.

crystals · 03-31-2006, 09:23 PM

I counted 6, too. I made sure I was reading slowly and focusing. If I had read it faster, I imagine I would have missed one.

desilu90 · 03-31-2006, 10:38 PM

WOWSERS, I only counted 3 I missed all those "OF'S" LoL

That's the point. You are supposed to read it NORMALLY. If you scan each letter the first time, you will notice the "F". Which is what I think happened here. Just read it normally and you will miss the "F".

Janice · 04-01-2006, 01:49 AM

I missed the "OFs". Once I knew and read it again, I didn't miss them.

That is so strange. I used to do a lot of proofreading in an old job too.
