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.

Title: Re: A Reading Test Post by: NES_Rules on February 18, 2008, 12:08:48 PM 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.
Title: Re: A Reading Test Post by: Magewout on February 18, 2008, 12:13:19 PM I counted 4 the first time, 5 the second time :P

Title: Re: A Reading Test Post by: TraderJake on February 18, 2008, 03:22:15 PM I counted 4 the first time, 5 the second time :P Is English your primary language? :P Title: Re: A Reading Test Post by: jcalder8 on February 18, 2008, 03:26:02 PM Sweet I got 3 ;D
I love being ignorant. Title: Re: A Reading Test Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on February 18, 2008, 03:55:39 PM 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.
Title: Re: A Reading Test Post by: Zimbacca on February 23, 2008, 03:20:58 AM I got 4! I'm special!

Title: Re: A Reading Test Post by: Funk_Buddy on February 23, 2008, 07:25:09 PM I got four.
Title: Re: A Reading Test Post by: shaggy on March 03, 2008, 10:54:34 PM Holy shit! I only got 3 the first time. I knew it had to be some "trick". Got 6 the second time. Cool trick.
Title: Re: A Reading Test Post by: dotDarkCloud (dDC) on March 08, 2008, 10:43:43 PM 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
Title: Re: A Reading Test Post by: Izret101 on March 21, 2008, 03:48:40 AM 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. |
