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. :hmmm:

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

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteres are at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a tatol mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

*** 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. :write:
