Default Eye examination

Quick Eye Examination...




Just do it - don't cheat!!!!!!!!!!!!


Try this out:



Count the number of F's in the following text:


FINISHED FILES ARE THE
RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS




Managed it?




Scroll down only after you have counted them!









OK?




How many?






Three?










Wrong, there are six!




Read again!





FINISHED FILES ARE THE
RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS





The reason is apparently that the brain cannot process the word "OF".
effectively.





Anyone who counts all six F's on the first go is a genius


Three is normal.


And I am somewhere in between.......
