Damnit it's just a silly game. Shaddup nitpickers!

Count the "F" in the following text


FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

3?


WRONG, THERE ARE 6 !!-- no joke.

READ IT AGAIN !


The reasoning behind is further down.
The brain cannot process "OF".



For the people who counted 6 on the get go... gets a no prize.. and reward themselves with the title.. SELF PROCLAIMED GENIUSES.

I failed :(

[Jonty]

I counted 6.... Why would I have counted 3?

[Bobmuhthol]

Your last line is incorrect. This test is not only played out, it also doesn't accurately describe anything.

Wow I can count six letters. I'm such a genius!!! It has to do with how quickly or slowly you read, your reading technique, and your fluency in recognizing sounds vs. letters.

btw, the first and last time I saw it, I never got it wrong.

Edited again to remove what I added because it was dumb.

Your too young to have alzheimers....me...I only counted 2 because I'm old AND blind. :lol:

[Shalla]

If this turns into a certain usual joke about a certain someone's age. I am going to cry :mad:

Heh, I didn't even read the thing when I counted the "F"s.... The instructions were to count the "F"s, so I did. I'm guessing you read it. So in addition to being blind, you don't follow directions correctly either. :P

[Shalla]

Did you read the instructions.. and read it word by word and counted per alphabet jonty? :?:

Huh?

The instructions were:

Count the "F" in the following text

I just looked at all the words and counted how many "F"s I saw....

[Mint]

Well this is embarrassing. I went back and counted again really slowly and still only see five f's. I am depressed now. Thanks Shalla.

I was hoping it was a trick test. I am going to look for a very tall bridge now...

Just don't do it during rushhour - and especially not a holiday weekend Friday.

<points to the rant thread>

[Mint]

So Shalla, since you have the word Alzheimers in the title does this mean I am likely to develop it or in the early stages. Cause if I can just forget my embarassment all will be right with my world.

[Warriorbird]

I counted 6. I'm not a genius.

[Bobmuhthol]

See my previous post.

Also, it has nothing to do with Alzheimer's. What I do find funny, though, is that I was walking past a retirement center and they spelled Alzheimer's incorrectly on a sign that said, "Alzheimer's Awareness Night."

[Miss X]

I counted 6..... I don't get it? There were 6 F's, my brain can process of! Woo, I'm a genius, I knew that already!
;)

[Shalla]

Oh geeze. It was just an e-mail forward. I should be the one jumping off a bridge for sharing it.

Don't be sad mint... some of them were probably lying and we have no way of proving it. You were honest.. I didn't count the OF's either.. but I counted as I was reading it the first time.. if I went back and re-read it.. that would void it and I would be cheating.

You don't need to prove anything to anybody.. it was just a forward.. It's not official.. the same way it's hard to figure out optical illusions.

[Latrinsorm]

Wouldn't a proper Alzheimer's test be to have one count the F's, then ask one tomorrow how many F's there were?

[Shalla]

Ok. I edited the bottom part of the initial post. Bob was right.. I suggest to read his post. <3 Bob :heart:

<3 Mint :heart:

[Galleazzo]

I didn't count either, but I don't know how well I would have done. Not enough sleep, eyes a bit blurry.
