| 270654 | 2004-09-09 07:28:00 | I received this via email . Go on - give it a try . And no cheating! Apologies to those who have seen it before . Count the "F's" in the following text: FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE- SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF- IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS . . . (see below) Managed it ? Scroll down only after you have counted them, okay? Do you think there are three? How many ? 3? Wrong, there are 6 !!--no joke . Read it again . The reasoning behind it is further down . The brain cannot process "OF" . Incredible or what ? Go back and look again!! Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius . Three is normal, four is quite rare . I got four first time - but then I am a rarity . I'm not entirely sure of the significance of the scrolling/spacing out of the "puzzle" . Maybe it's all part of tricking the brain . . . |

| 270656 | 2004-09-09 09:06:00 | Is it something to do with how we were taught the F "efff" letter sounds like, so we see the word "OF" and miss it? | Pillar (439) | ||
| 270657 | 2004-09-09 09:32:00 | I counted 17. i figure i've shot right past genius and now inhabit the realm of demented.... |

| 270658 | 2004-09-09 09:32:00 | Well you got me and I was looking real hard - is it the way we pronounce it? OV | andrew93 (249) | ||
| 270659 | 2004-09-09 09:35:00 | Just 17 metla? You'd better count again.... | andrew93 (249) | ||
| 270660 | 2004-09-09 09:40:00 | > Well you got me and I was looking real hard - is it > the way we pronounce it? OV > I would bet thats it,we don't pronounce the f as an f in of,and i bet when we look at words,letters we see them as they sound . If that makes any sence at all .

| 270661 | 2004-09-09 11:13:00 | Actually, I haven't done the puzzle - just registered that her 2 previous posts were quiet replies in threads- with no reason for acknowledgment. So welcome to Press F1.. You've obviously struck a cord here among some of us. |
