ALZHEIMER’S EYE TEST

Count every “F” in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS…
(SEE BELOW)

HOW MANY ?
3?

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

The reasoning behind is further down.

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

Anyone who counts all 6 “F’s” on the first go is a genius.
Three is normal, four is quite rare.

2

I got 4.

3

I got 6. no joke.

4

I got 3, but my iq test says I am a genius :stuck_out_tongue:

5

Nice! I knew what to look for and still couldn’t count 6 in the first and second try.

You need to retype the sentence without the “>” and the gap between the first line and second line.

I saw this a few years ago. It was on a business card that somebody gave me.

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI

THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS…

To anyone that does speed reading, of course, they would never count 6 F’s, but I have seen this before so I knew what to expect. I don’t think this determines geniousity in any circumstance. Careful attention to detail may be the result or recognizing it isn’t normal so its really a mutation/malfunction in the human brain that we value so highly.

7

I got four, but I don’t really believe it makes me a genius.

Whee.

8

Even after reading it through slowly I could only find 5 :stuck_out_tongue: .

This is seriosly wicked! I read it once… OK, 3 "F"s, I went down… 6!? how the F…!? OK, I read it again… still just 3! Then I read the end. o_O omg, I’m stupid.

And I’m from swe so I thought that this would be easy! :expressionless:

10

I got 6 on the first go but I don’t know maybe that’s because i’m dutch… or maybe I’m just a genius :smiley:

11

I got 6.

12

hmmm… me got 7 the first time. :-?

Supergenius?

13

haha way to go Sago :wink: yeah your a supergenius… Really funny thing you’ve got there.

14

There are only six though…

15

Thank you, Captain Obvious, that was the joke…

Anywho, I had 5 on the first go… I somehow missed the F in “scientific”…

16

i got 4 :slight_smile: this is so cool…

Somewhere I read this interesting article about how the brain interprets misspelled words. If I remember right, it had an example paragraph with only the first and last letter of each word spelled correctly. The brain is able to correctly interpret the misspelled paragraph as long as the first and last letter of each word is correct. It was very interesting.
