Default cool little mind trick

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 F's?










WRONG, there are 6 -- no joke.
Read it again. Really, go back and try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.



The reasoning behind is further down.








The brain cannot process "OF".

The brain can process OF just fine.. you just subconsciously skip over it because it doesn't need to be processed. You don't need to READ "of".
