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.

it's still amazing that this happens though. i've seen this before but didn't remember the reasoning ... i scanned it, scanned it again, and then scanned it again trying to focus on the letters and not the words, and came up with 3. you'd think between starting at code and crazy scrolling colored text of fantasy characters beating the shit out of each other you'd pick up on these things.



amazing.
