HAVE FUN WITH THIS ONE

Test your eyes

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...
(SEE BELOW)


HOW MANY ?




. 3?

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

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.

Oh man! I only counted three the first time, and the really sad thing is that I've seen this before! Right before I started I said to myself "remember to count to f's in 'of' " and I still missed them! :D :D :D

Excellent Styxx!

Read this out loud.

PARIS IN THE
THE SPRING

Seems most folks can't read it correctly.

An illustration of our perception. A good lesson in humility, both of these.
At first I was wondering why the word "The" was in there twice but then I got it. I'm a bit slow today. :o

Wow! I must be special...I counted all 6 :) I guess that since I search for mistakes and typos all day that I had a slight advantage :D

That's interesting but not all surprising Stephanie. I've seen this a couple of times before at work. Brought it home and gave it to my wife and she said "where have you been?! the dinner's getting cold. I wish you'd phoned me........"

No, but seriously, she got the six Fs......no problem; adding to my dented male (mail USA.) ego.:)

Is this one of these items where the women have the advantage due to different thought processing in men and women?

I must be stupid because I only got two and it took me 3 tries to find all six.

OK, this is REALLY sad:
I've gotten this email and counted all six Fs.
Then I read this and told myself to count the "of"s.
And I got three. :rolleyes:

Methinks I be getering stupider. :D
