Can you read and count?

[green_the_fish]

Check this out, it's so funny! Don't cheat! It's weird, but there are no tricks to the test.

Read this sentence:


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



Now count the F's in that sentence. Only count them one time or you're cheating. Now, scroll down for the answer...

ANSWER:

There are six F's in the sentence.

:idea:

A person of average intelligence finds three of them. If you spotted four, you're above average. If you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody. If you caught six, you are a genius. There is no catch. Many people forget the "OF"'s. The human brain tends to see them as V's and not F's.
Pretty funny, huh?

So, how'd everybody do?

I only spotted three myself. And I cheated by counting twice, too! :bonk:

[tigger_gal]

I got five and that is because I counted slow, not that I can snub my nose at most people NOT :biglaugh: I am for sure not that smart. I have seen something similar before so I kinda of slowed down, because the first time I did not catch the f's in of....
