How many F's are in this paragraph?

[CHOPTALK]

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 ?























Showed this to 10 people. 9 of them got it wrong.

 

[HarryCaray]

3?

 

[NES]

3?

 

[whalewager]

5

 

[MattRain]

6

 

[NES]

it says "in the following text", anything after the colon would be considered the "following text" . If the trick is that you have to count the F's in "Count every ' F ' in the following text" then this has to be the dumbest trick question in the history of dumb trick questions.

 

[whalewager]

I dont think its a trick...there are 5

 

[CHOPTALK]

Matt rain is the only one that got it right.

Most people can only see 3, but there are 6.

Read it again.

Most dont see the F in the 2 of's in the sentence.

 

[CHOPTALK]

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 ?
WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.

 

[whalewager]

I see 5 and I counted both ofs

 

[CalvinTy]

I remember this one from years ago... I still forgot to read the f in "of".... but where is the 6th one? Like NES said, it can't be in the question?

[CHOPTALK]

I see 5 and I counted both ofs

there are 3 of's.

Like I said, over 90% overlook them.

 

[whalewager]

[NES]

I see 5 and I counted both ofs

[CalvinTy]

Like I said, over 90% overlook them.

Dang... me and GJ can't see worth anything.

for some reason you cant see all 3 of's even when you are looking for them.

I still have to read it real close even though I know it has 3 of's.

Its one of the strangest things I have ever seen.

You can show this to anyone and I promise you 99% will not find all the f's.

Matt Rain was the only one in this thread. I would bet he has seen this before. Thats the only reason he got it right.

 

[whalewager]

Nope. I guess the reason I got it is that I'm not a native English speaker, so I quickly scanned the text letter by letter instead of reading it instinctively. That or the fact that I'm a frickin' genius.
