Count the number of 'F' in the following text, don't spend more then 10 sec. doing it


FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC 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!
The reasoning is further down...


































The brain cannot process "OF".
Incredible or what?
Anyone who counts all six 'F' on the first go is a genius
-three is normal, four quite rare.

 

weird

 

I got six.

I've seen it before.

And I said the letters as I went along, rather than reading the words.

What did it say, by the way?

 

neat i got 3

 

only 4 here. Pretty cool

 

3.

 

I got 5. How the hell did I mange that?

 

6. i have that in my optical illusions book.

 

There really shouldn't be any inbetweens like "4" or "5" if you think about it.. why would someone who had 4 or 5 only be able to pick up on one or two "OF's", but not all 3 of them if that is their mindset from the beginning.. hmm, weird...

 

Dang it! I only got 3.
