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?
(See Below for answer)
















WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.
















The reasoning behind is further down.
The brain cannot process "OF".

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!
Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.

Three is normal, four is quite rare.

Send this to your friends.
It will drive them crazy.!
And keep them occupied
For several minutes..!

This thread has been moved to the proper section

I read it the first time without any problem. I'm used to reading miss-spelled words around here.:lol:

The first one I saw on fanfiction dot net, and I had read it there without any problems; much like Syf, I've seen a great deal of misspelled words.

The second one, however, required a second read through and a copy-paste into Notepad, followed by deleting any and all other letters. However, I had thought that there were only five of the specified letter. Oddly enough, it was "scientific" that threw me.:lol2:

You gotta admit though it makes you think.

And Syf thanks for moving this. I thought I had it in the right section saying general. I didn't realize that there was a difference in "General chat" and "General discussion"

Well...Any comments on these? Now are you guys realising that on the first one, even though you can read it, do you realise that every single word is misspelled?

Umm, as I had said, I'm used to dealing with misspellings of words. Therefore, the answer is a resounding yes.

Actually I think you will need to re read it as the Three letter words are not Misspelled.

And like many here I got the first one before I finished (I have seen the study information for in while in school) but the second took a Letter for letter Count. Some may get this saying "I tend to Nuke things." for those that do not I over think alot of problems.
