A Test of Nerve For Thee

Please read this sentence and count the Fs:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

Email me at cowana00@gmail.com to let me know how many Fs you saw.

There are only 3!

Everyone who responded to me said 3 Fs. But there are actually 6. Did you remember the fs in the 3 'ofs'?

Your brain as it reads doesn't read the shorter letters so you kind of skip them as your brain assumes what they are. So when you were re-reading it looking for Fs your brain kept skipping over the Fs.

ah, i said 6 before I even read the comments. I imagine I would have missed them had it been read to me.

Its funny how before I posted the answer everyone (about 20 people) got it wrong (3 or 2) but, strangely enough, since I posted the answer the only 2 people to do it have got it right. I smell a rat!
