Title: how many f's?
Post by: noss on Apr 28, 2004, 12:04PM: this one is going around on the email a bit, but i thought i'd share it because people here seem to get things for the first time 2yrs after the rest of us :P

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 ?

.... 3?

WRONG, THERE ARE 6 !!-- no joke.

READ IT AGAIN !

The reasoning behind it is that 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.

Post by: LoW GLi on Apr 28, 2004, 12:30PM: i got 6!! :p i have a lil business size card with that on it, pretty much the same, it just says count how many f's inside the box and it has the same reading in there, and on the back it says
"3.....Average, 4.......Above Average, 5......Smart little cookie, 6......Smarter than einstein" ;D ;D

Post by: noss on Apr 28, 2004, 12:30PM: the really funny thing is, when people count 3, then they find out there are 6, and they count it again and they only count 4 or 5 and not 6. absolute pisser.

Post by: LoW GLi on Apr 28, 2004, 12:33PM: yeah i kno, i dont tell them how many there are the first time, i jsut say no, there is more than 3, then they read it again adn go 4, and i keep going, "higher", and then when they jsut give up and keep guessing till i say they r right, then i show them the card and they get full cut!!! hehe

Post by: Urq! on Apr 28, 2004, 02:08PM: wooo hooo i got 6 ;D, i am so smart :P

probably because I knew there had to be a trick so i took my time looking through the sentence.

Post by: 89tipintara on Apr 30, 2004, 04:12PM: i got 4 first go...went back and counted again and got 3....thought to myself ahh i bet the trick is everyone gets 4 first time but there really is only three.....haha then i read the answer ::) ::) ::)
Title: Re: how many f's?
Post by: bungs on Apr 30, 2004, 04:26PM: I stuffed it up for myself and read the whole post before reading the sentence :(

So I ended up getting 6 on my first go...
