Count the "F" 's in the following text:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
(highlight the area below to read the correct answer after you have counted them)
If you answered 3 you'd be wrong.
There are 6.
Read it again.
The reasoning behind it is that the brain cannot process the word "OF".
Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.
Three is normal, four is quite rare.

I found 8 the first time.... Once I read the answer, the F in after in the both paranthesis sentences were not included...
So I gues 6 should have been my final anwswer

zero....
there are 6 "F" 's and zero "F's" :p :D :D :D
F's would be considered correct. It is acceptable to use 's for odd (unusual) plurals. I had a huge debate with an upper division writing professor at CSUF - and I won!! Well, actually, another professor got into the argument (The English dept head....dote!) who finished the debate for me - but I still claim victory.
Btw...I got 6 F's
:D

I usually use a couple of these type mind teaser when I teach Forensic classes. The point for it, "you need to always look beyond what you see if you want to be thorough". You would not believe what people don't see even when it's staring them in the face. :hammerhea
