Count how many "F"'s there are in the following passage:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS

If you counted 3 you are WRONG! The human mind seems to find it difficult to count the "OF"'s so infact there are 6 ^_~

I've also done this thing before, and when i was counting, i was looking out for the silent F's, but I still only counted 3, counting backwards I got 4...will find the other two now.

There was some logical explanation for why we only see 3, something with pronunciation i think.

Post 5

w00t i got it correct :D

I think its cause i didn't read as i was counting just counted.. but then not sure what the rest of you did..

Must you really spam so much? I mean really, I just had a look at your profile. You're averaging over 6 posts per day, and frankly, most of them are one-liners, not relevant to the topic, or would be better off in a private message.

Please only post when it's actually relevant to the topic, don't just post to say "lol", or "hi" or something.

Yes, yes, I know I'm off topic, but I'm allowed. I'm great :P

Post 22

Lilu .... so angry ...

But you do bite well ....

OK I'll ease up ... but it's so fun .....

Post 23

Actually Ho, it rained a few times, you just didn't notice cause you were so into the lan :P

as for Topgun, I believe the appropriate phrase is "can't teach an old troll new tricks".
