How smart are you? 20 characters...?

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 did you count? Wrong! There are six of them above - no joke. Now read it again with more precision. Really, go back and try to find all the six F's before you continue to read this explanation. The reasoning is really intersting.

The answer is that the brain cannot process word "of". Do you think it is incredible or what? Now go back and look again! The truth is that anyone who counts all the F's on the first go, must be a true genius :) If you're first answer was three, that is quite normal, if your answer was four that's quite rare.

So, what did you get at first? xD

    I must be 4/6 of a genius then; I counted 4. Interesting question.

    Yeah, the "of's" are a *****. I got 4, but the 2 I missed were both part of the "of's". Not sure this is a great measure of genius, but what do I know? I can't even count to six.

    I counted six. I saw the F's in of this time. But to be fair I almost missed them and I think I got an e-mail like this once. Funny how we don't see the F's in of isn't it?

    I've done this quiz before, and I counted six. But my brain processes letters a lot better than numbers. And I guess it helps that I'm in love with words.

    Only one "F" in that paragraph!

    Hey, I'm not going to apologize for getting it right. Sheesh.
