Mark Posted 24 September 2004 Posted 24 September 2004 FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE- SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF- IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS. Count them ONLY ONCE and post
Cobbo Posted 24 September 2004 Posted 24 September 2004 Hmmm, I got 3. But I'm sure it'll be wrong in some way
Cobbo Posted 24 September 2004 Posted 24 September 2004 I thought 6. 21389[/snapback] I'll blame my injury for this too should I be totally wrong ::
Mark Posted 24 September 2004 Author Posted 24 September 2004 ANSWER: There are six F's in the sentence. A person of average intelligence finds three of them. If you spotted four, you're above average. If you got five, you can turn your nose at almost anybody. If you caught six, you are a genius.

Pah, I don't believe things like this anyway :: Mark, you genius, give me some brain cells.
Mark Posted 24 September 2004 Author Posted 24 September 2004 I only counted 4 the first time i read through it
Ash Posted 24 September 2004 Posted 24 September 2004 I was just about to put 6 , but then i noticed Petrescu already gave the answer out

Cobbo Posted 24 September 2004 Posted 24 September 2004 I only counted 4 the first time i read through it 21397[/snapback] Yes, well, 3! As I stated, I blame my injured back and leg for this outrage. Also being totally knackered and tired doesn't halp. More excuses? Just ask.

Anish Posted 25 September 2004 Posted 25 September 2004 I got 6 too - and I don't think I'm a genius or anywhere near it!
ROSSINDA Posted 25 September 2004 Posted 25 September 2004 I got 6 too - and I don't think I'm a genius or anywhere near it! 21442[/snapback] I got 23 ..... was I wrong?
Babylon Posted 25 September 2004 Posted 25 September 2004 Don't be too worried if you got three, i'd say it's more about speed reading. Like when you read a book you don't actually read all the words your brain sees the first letter or two of a word, calculates the previous words and fills in the ending letter/letter without you actually finishing the whole word. Thats my excuse anyway!!
desert fox Posted 25 September 2004 Posted 25 September 2004 Alright, I must be a genius than, I had six also.
Guest freund Posted 25 September 2004 Posted 25 September 2004 It's because when you read it quickly the brain pronounces 'of' as 'ov' so it doesn't register as an f. Apparently.

Guest Posted 25 September 2004 Posted 25 September 2004 I am both pissed and pissed off. I counted 6.

Teeno Posted 26 September 2004 Posted 26 September 2004 Good old Lisa, in London at 9am yesterday. Never seen you pissed before.

Head Honcho Posted 23 February 2006 Posted 23 February 2006 Found this reason for most people saying 6 on another site Most of what we see is what we're trained to see. Creativity is understanding these patterns and looking for algorithms that allow you to find what you're looking for anyway. Business as usual finds three F's. A disciplined creative person finds six
