Reading Comprehension Test

[SlowlySinking]

This is a test and it's not as easy as it looks . . . No peeking!! <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />>Count all the "F's" in the following text: <br />> <br />>FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE <br />>SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI <br />>FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH <br />>THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS... (SEE BELOW) <br />> <br />>HOW MANY DID YOU COUNT? <br />> <br />> <br />> . . 1? <br />> . . 2? <br />> ... 3? <br />> <br />><br />><br />><br />><br />>WRONG, THERE ARE 6 !!-- no joke. <br />> <br />>READ IT AGAIN ! <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> The reasoning behind this is further down. <br />> <br />> <br /><br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />> <br />>The brain cannot process "OF". <br />> <br />>Incredible or what? Go back and look again!! <br />> <br />>Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius. Three is normal, four is quite rare. <br /><br /><br />I counted 3 and flunked the test. <br /><br />How did you do?????

I counted 4 I saw the first 'of' but not the other 2

Six.<br /><br />Not genius. Learned long ago to go over these tests backwards.

Re: Reading Comprehension Test

counted 3 but knew that couldn't be the answer or else it wouldn't have been a test. Read it backwards and forwards 3 more times before I noticed the first "of," then the other two. That's an interesting exercise.
