Test Your Brain



ALZHEIMER'S 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 'F's?



Count them again.



WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke..



READ IT AGAIN !


Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 'F's before you scroll down.


The reasoning behind this is further down.


 

 

The brain cannot process "OF".


F INISHED F ILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
F IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.....

Incredible or what?


Anyone who counts all 6 'F's on the first go is a genius.


Three is normal, four is quite rare.

Morning Vic,

Crikey, I must be a genius, read through the sentence within a few seconds and counted 6 F's, thought this seems pretty straight forward, and it was.biggrin

I saw only three, but I wonder if the real reason may have something to do with our brains being distracted by the splits in "re-sult" and "scienti-fic". Alternatively, could the fact that all the "obvious" Fs were at the start of a syllable rather than at the end have influenced our perception? Or could it simply be that the brain's processing of uppercase is responsible in some way?
