Title: A Reading Test
Post by: TraderJake on February 17, 2008, 08:55:53 PM
Stolen from somewhere else

Count the "F's" in the following text:






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









Managed it ?
Scroll down only after you have counted them, okay? Do you think there are three? How many ? 3?








Wrong, there are 6 !!--no joke.
Read it again.
The reasoning behind it 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.

I read through quickly the first time and counted 3, I thought it was some kind of trick and counted 5 the second time, still didn't see that last one though.

Seems to me people who read them all would be slower readers. I've seen those things where they horribly misspell words and yet you can still read them. It's simply our familiarity with our language.

Holy shit!  I only got 3 the first time.  I knew it had to be some "trick".  Got 6 the second time.  Cool trick.

I got them all, but I caught on at the first OF. I think of done these before, so I didn't go very quickly, sort-of knew what to expect :D

I got 'em but thats because i have seen little word tricks like this before so i knew what to look for.

There are other words were you will subconciously remove a word or add a word to make a sentance correct.
With the removing of a word it was generally short words like "of" / "the" tagged onto the end of a short line of text and put at the begining of the next line of text.

Things like that are pretty cool though.
