How clever are you? test

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. :smoke1:

it has nothing to do with intelligence. if anything passing around meme's has more to do with intelligence or lack of it. :P

people who get low numbers of 'f's do so because they are faster, more efficient readers. when you hone your reading skills, your brain starts to identify comon words and word groups, processing them before you actually 'read them'. your eyes naturally skip over words like 'a' 'of' 'and' 'to' 'like' 'from'... because these words are used so often.

basicly your eyes read patterns of text instead of individual words. it speeds up your reading tremendously, but isn't as good for things like proofreading.

i got 3, which is normal because my brain didn't notice the 'of's. people who got 6 either were reading very carefully, or should pick up a book once in a while.
