Eye test , do it and no cheating

[Blister]

Quick Eye Exam...

This will blow your mind...!

Just do it - don't cheat!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try this its actually quite good.

But don't cheat!

Count the number of F's in the following text:





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


Managed it?
Scroll down only after you have counted them!










OK?


How many?







Three?









Wrong, there are six - no joke!



Read again!




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



The reasoning is further down...

The brain cannot process the word "OF".


Incredible or what?

Anyone who counts all six F's on the first go is a genius


Three is normal.

:shock: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[MikeG.]

I don't get it! I counted six... Surely everyone does?

 

[p111dom]

Well I must be a thickie, coundten them twice at the beginning and still got three

 

[Lord Nibbo]

well I'm glad I'm normal then :lol: It took me four goes to even notice 3 of's :lol:

 

[tekno.mage]

I got six as well, but I used to do quite a bit of proof reading, so am used to reading things carefully if I need too. It probably helps to ignore the meaning of the text when doing something like this.

I counted 4 the first time - registering the last F easily. Then, I re-read it and got counted six, before scrolling down.

Having picked up the last of/F (probably because I was hunting the last line for some kind of trick) I was quite surprised to spot another 2 Fs when I reread it...

 

[OPJ]

B******s, I counted three first time!

 

[hog&bodge]

B******s, I counted three first time!

Same hers...At least we are honest :lol:

 

[kityuser]

honestly I counted 6, you kind of get into the "being caught out" frame of mind and take extra care.... or at least I do.

have to be quite accurate at work so I'm used to reading carefully (timing diagrams and technical text).


however my spelling is crap........

agreed... got six but cos you said it was an eye test etc so paid more attention... it the same as

paris

the spring

florida
in the
the winter

tho it hasn't formatted correctly so will make less sense.

aslo the brian can raed aolt of wrods corectely eevn if the splelnig is worng as it only nedes the frist and lsat letrters to mkae snese.


how many words were wrong and how quick can you read it.

 

[RogerS]

I got six but used a little trick someone told me. Scan the sentence in reverse.

 

[TrimTheKing]

I got all six first time, but in fairness I have seen this before. First time I did it I got 4, same as others, looking in the last sentence for a trick I pick out the lasst OF, but not the previous 2.

So was I!

But if you see a post that is obviously all about testing your observation, surely you take it slowly and read carefully?

Got 6 ...................

but thats because I'd seen it before !! :lol: :lol: :lol:

First time round, only saw 3...
there's definately something in the 'missing the of's' ! 8) 8) 8) 8)

I think that's the kicker Mike. The first time I saw it it just showed the paragraph and said 'count the F's', there was no indication it was a test. Then when your scrolled down it told you what it was looking for. Just a little less obvious.

[MikeG.]

there was no indication it was a test.

..........except the thread title, Mark!!

He means in the first one he saw :wink:

 

[TrimTheKing]

Correct.

The first time I saw it it just showed the paragraph and said 'count the F's', there was no indication it was a test.

I was agreeing with you on this one Mike, but first time I saw it (last year or so) there was no indication, just 'Try this'.

Cheers
