Commander Obi-Wan Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 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".

IG-64 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writer Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Seen both of those before, so I counted all 6 'F's and didn't bat an eye at reading the paragraph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabretooth Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWally Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagobahn Eagle Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
