Fun Test

Don't cheat and look at the answer first.  Try it.  It really works.

This one is somewhat surprising. It's not a joke as such, but a nice
demonstration of the faults of the human brain. Follow the exercise as
dictated below.



 READ  this sentence:

          FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
          SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
          IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
          THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE; do not
go back and count them again. Then see answer below...




   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 almost anybody. If you caught six, you
are a genius.

There is no  catch.   Many people forget the OFs. The brain of English
speakers tends to see them as "V's"  instead of "F's".
