Cool trick

OK, count the number of F in the following text:

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

Done?

3?
Nope!
Count again, it’s 6

Explanation: Apparently, the brain cannot treat ‘OF’. If you counted 6 ‘F’ the first time, well you deserve a cookie

oh and check out this site

that is so crazy. I read it slowly and still only counted 4!

I counted 6 the first time.

Count the of and that will help people.

i took the challenge on teh website got 10 of 20 dont know if thats good or bad lol

<------ 17

If you read sentences backwards when proof-reading you are more likely to find spelling errors and repeated words, it even helps for counting the f’s in the sentence. I found all 6, got a 17 on that test though resizing that line and the ball are hard to do.

those were simple to do but the ones that really got me in a loop were the colors and i would unconciouly choose the wrong color and i knew it was wrong but i acted to fast and didnt think lmao friggin scary

Sphynx how come you don’t replace the f’s in of? Haven’t been here all that long but that has been buggin the heck outta me.

Distraction, smistraction!?! Convert them all now I will support you in your effort to abolish the f. Wait a tick, what’s the rule phor 2 f’s in a row?

My suggestions would be to replace the double f with a single f since it sounds the same anyway and then replace the f with the way oph the phuture the ph. The change must start small and then work up to a total replacement in order to prevent the threat oph rebellion.

i got 7 on the test

I had 4 friends over, 3 of them counted 4 f’s and 1 or them counted 3 f’s.

I counted 3…

that’s awsome!

15

15 f’s??? Wow, you have to quit drinking, dude :stunned:
