Finding F's

Read this sentence:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS

OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

Now count the F's in the sentence above…. Just count them
ONCE and try not to go read back through the sentence
again.

15
How many did you find?

Type your answer into the chat pod.

Answer

There are 6 F's in the sentence.

Most people find 3 of them.

If you spotted 4, you're above average.

To find 5 is rare

If you found 6, you are a genius!

There is no catch. Most people forget the "OF"s. The human

brain tends to see them as Vs instead of F's.

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS
