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...
How many did you find? (I will post the answer later)

I hate puzzles!  There are only 3 "real" Fs printed in the text, so how can you make up Fs that aren't there   Illogical!

Lol... what do you mean "this time"... you are only suppose to read it once!!!! lol
ok... here is the answer:
Sheila is right... there are 6
The reason if you see 3 is because the brain cannot process "OF".
Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.
Three is normal, four is quite rare.
Now... if you see 10... duuuuddddeeeee?!!! ? ?

I didn't see these thread before. Too bad...I counted 6 as well! I'm no genius either, but maybe Sheila and Repa are!!

Not me Ruth, but Sheila probably is. She saw all 6 the first time, plus 2 more. Can't beat that! But, maybe she had help from Kim???

Repa is right...I saw 6 plus two more the first time...I edited my post...then decided to color them read...Didn't the OF look strange to the brain? I couldn't understand why Repa only saw 3 which made me think...thus the colored answer...
I guess Kim made me do it......
She is the genius not me...

I think Samantha snuck those OFs in there after I looked at it the first time or, maybe it's true what Granny says - that I'm ready for the funny farm! After all, what do you expect from a guy who is "older than dirt?"

repa, did you have one eye closed? I was sure you would have gotten it and Ruth, she's super at puzzles.
