Count the F's and I'll boggle your mind.

[Commander Obi-Wan]

Count the F's in this mini-paragraph.

 

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE

SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI

FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH

THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

 

How many do you see?

 

 

There's six...look again

 

 

Answer:

The brain can't process that word "of".

Go back and look again.

[LightNinja]

my brain can process "of" because i saw this like 2 or 3 years ago ^^. So, pretty old for me

[CapNColostomy]

I counted six the first time...

[Mike Windu]

Or if you just take the time and actually look through each word.

[TiE23]

Got the OF's to worry about. I made sure to know what I missed after I only counted 3.

[ET Warrior]

I counted 6.

 

I remember doing this like, 10 years ago.

[Prime]

I counted six the first time...

Then you are a robot.

[BongoBob]

I got 6 on the first try.

[Lightsaberboy]

ctrl + F .

[Jeff]

I only got 3 on the first try, it's a pretty neat trick if you ask me.

[jon_hill987]

I couldn't see 6 till I looked at the second spoiler.

 

Here is something simalar.

OMG, that's freaky.

 

I also counted 6 the first time.

that was on Daily Planet like last year.

[IG-64]

Yeah i've seen this before. Traditionally you're supposed to just read it through and count as you go once. And not dwell and actually count the F's.

[PoM]

Six on the first try.

[CapNColostomy]

Then you are a robot.

 

Your mama.

[Writer]

Seen both of those before, so I counted all 6 'F's and didn't bat an eye at reading the paragraph

[Lantzen]

I got it to only 3 the first time, and the second time. Then i read the second spoiler and finaly got all 6.

 

The text i had seen before, so that wasnt a problem

[Sabretooth]

Six on first try, because I've done this like, many times in the last few years. It's an old trick, which people never get tired of...

[ZBomber]

Got 6 first time, never did it before, didnt read spoilers, etc etc etc.... so... not too interesting to me.

[TSR]

ctrl + F .

how ironic

i only got 4. i've never heard of this. ah well. t'is good...

[MrWally]

haha you got four? That means you still defy the claim that the brain doens't process the word "of" because you must have gotten one of the "of"s

 

[woogiee]

lol I also got 4 the first time, then somehow 5 the next 2 times...

[Commander Obi-Wan]

This one is also pretty cool.

 

[Dagobahn Eagle]

Reading the whole thread before posting is rather neat, too:p.

 

3 on the first try. Even after having read both spoilers my brain wanted to skip the "ofs".
