This will drive you bonkers !

Test your eyes

ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST

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 ?




4 ?






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 is a genius.
Three is normal, four is quite rare.

I found this incredible and had to check it several times before I convinced myself there were really 6.

I have seen this before and even when you know how many F's there are you still can't always see them without looking several times, I showed it round work and 1 person got it straight away but genius is the last word I would use to describe him

*** That is interesting,so we speed read all of the time really ? the words become like mere symbols and icons and we recognise them as such,things are certainly not always as they seem.
