Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE Do not go back and count them again. If you are done counting scroll down.














ANSWER:

There are six F's in the sentence. One of average intelligence finds three of them. If you spotted four, you're above average. If you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody. If you caught six, you are a genius. There is no catch. Many people forget the OFs. The human brain tends to see them as "V's" instead of "F's".

Count backwards. This way you don't think about the words as much as the letters.
