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.






microsoft thing

open a new page at your microsoft word.

just write
= rand (200,99)
(with =)

then press enter and wait 3 secont... you will see something, that even Microsoft can not explain it!

I got all 6 too, but only because I've seen it before. And about that microsoft word thing, this sentence uses every letter of the alphabet, not sure why it does that though.

Hehe as I said this is probably what it is for as "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet. It seems foreign language versions are different though.

now that i think about it, i think the reason why people get 3 is because the F in of sounds like a v, so when we read it in our minds, we dont hear the F sound there for we dont realize it's there
