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.......

Here's something else interesting: Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. |

I managed 4 at first go.
James - your typing reminds me of mine when I get my fingers on the wrong keys. Some amazing words come out. That's a good excuse when I make a mistake - its not my fingers its my brain cant keep up with the speed of my typing. Well I can always try it. Reminds me of the time a friend brought in an internal advertisement for a job in a BUSTY office and also another in a SCREAMING room (should have been screening) |
