Here's a test for you...don't cheat!
This one might surprise you...
A quick test of intelligence. Don't cheat!!!
Because if you do, this test will be no fun. I promise
there are no tricks to the test
Read this sentence:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.
Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count
them ONLY ONCE: do not go back and count them again.
See below...
Answer below...
ANSWER
There are six F's in the sentence. One of average
intelligence finds three of them. If you spotted four,
you're above average. If you got five, you can turn
up your nose at most anybody. If you caught six,
you are a genius. There is no catch. Most people
forget the "of"'s. The human brain tends to see
them as V's and not F's. Pretty weird, huh?
