I have just received one of those round robin emails; which … I have thought is worth sharing.

Count every “F” in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS…

(SEE BELOW)

Go on then … how many?

…………………. 3?

WRONG, THERE ARE 6 — no joke.  READ IT AGAIN!

Won’t get fooled again so says the Who …

Go on.  Have another look to see if you can find the 6 F’s before you scroll down.

Ha … and so ….

The reasoning is that the brain cannot process “OF”.  Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!

Anyone who counts all six “F’s” on the first go is a genius.  Three is normal, four is quite rare.
