monkey66 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 The "optical trick" thread reminded me of a post I saw recently at a photography site I visit... Eye Test- Count the "F's" in the following text: FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...(see below) Scroll down only after you have counted them, okay? How many? 3? Wrong, there are 6!! 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. Send this to your friends-it drives them crazy I only got three at first... :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mike Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I don't think that the brain cannnot proccess "of" so much as it is conditioned to skip past the word to get to the message. In other words, we all speed read to some extent and "of" gets lost in the proccess. Interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancalagon the Black Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Wow, I never knew I was such a genius. I don't think it's true that the brain cannot process "of." Otherwise, we'd be just as happy calling Steinbeck's play Mice and Men, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
