    NO CHEATING...
    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...
    (SEE BELOW)

    HOW MANY ?






    .................... 3?





    WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
    READ IT AGAIN !

    The reasoning behind 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 has extraordinary perception.
    Three is normal, four is quite rare.

    Send this to your friends.
    It will drive them crazy!
    Best way to cheat on deadlifts...

    Stand there for a few minutes, then pace back and forth a lot, huff and puff, wait until everybody's looking. Approach the bar. Back off. Approach it again. Back off. Get some water. Chalk up. Approach the bar again. Then spray some more chalk around. Wait until people start losing interest. When nobody's looking, pick it a little off the floor, and slam it down. Jump up and yell "LIGHT WEIGHT BABY". Then give high fives all around. - Belial

    Just because the "F" isn't the first letter in a word doesn't mean it shouldn't be counted.

    I counted them all, although that is only because I have seen this before (possible here). I missed the 'F's in of the first time around.

    Probably because a million people have already posted this on wbb.
    "It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"

    Richard Dawkins


    "Out of all of the sects in the world, we notice an uncanny coincidence: the overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one that their parents belong to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."

    Yes what was all that about, O(F) 3times and 3 other Fs.

    How did they come to that conclusion.
    A big thanks to all my friends in the USA, I am deeply grateful for your hospitality and kindness.

    I only got 3... haha that's cool though. I saw another one similar to this but it was proof that the brain can read passages even if the vowels of a passage are missing. Quite intriguing.

    I like to break a mental sweat too.

    This reminds me of an informal experiment a psych prof. conducted during class one day. One of his lecture slides had a sentence written on it. He asked the entire class to read it out loud together. The sentence was something mundane, but was deliberately missing the word "the" in a place where it should have been present. As the class read the sentence aloud, you could hear about half of them say the word "the" where it should have been, even though it was not there. It's like the brain can automatically fill in small words.

    I have done this a lot myself when I come across a typo in a book. If the word or typo is something small, it's like my mind will autocorrect it without me realizing, until I go back over the sentence again and think to myself "how did I not notice that the first time?"
