Try this - it's actually? quite good.
But don't cheat !

Count the number of 'F's in the? following text

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS? OF SCIENTIF-
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS

Managed it?
Scroll down only after you have counted them!
















Ok?

Three?

Nope WRONG!

Theres 6. No joke, read it again,

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS? OF SCIENTIF-
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS

The brain can't process the word "of".

Awesome stuff. Anyone that gets a 6 is supposedly a genius.

I counted 6 but I did fly over the "of"s at first. I love how these work but I never trust the explinations...

your mind processes 'of' the way its pronounced ("ov"), so the "EFF" sound you're looking for does not register eng101
