This will blow your mind... Just do it - but don't cheat! You would only be cheating yourself!

Try this, its actually quite good. But don't cheat!

Quickly read through the following text and count the number of F's in it.

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 that 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.

I counted 3 :lol:

I got six too, but that's because I had seen this back in school ;) I remember not getting six the first time too :p

Hmm.. the genius of Nasa? I don't think it's that tough of a test... I got all 6 on the first try as well.
And I don't understand how one can cheat :confused: It says "count the "F's".. and that's about all you can do, isn't it?

:tinajo: <--- "Future Nasa Scientist" :lol:

I've seen this before (thought it was posted, but couldn't find it :p) so I knew there were 6 before I even read it... :lol: I think I got 5 of 'em the first time though...
