A Fun Test

This test is a nice demonstration of how the human brain perceives things. Follow the exercise as mentioned below. 

[Please do not be tempted to check out the answer, you'll ruin it;-)]

READ this sentence:

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

Now count the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE. Do not
go back and count them again. Check answer below...




ANSWER:

There are six F's in the sentence. 
A person of average intelligence will see three of them. 
If you spotted four, you're above average. 
If you saw five, you can turn your nose up at almost anybody. 
If you caught six, you are a genius.

There is no  catch.   Most people forget the OFs. 
The human brain tends to see them as V's instead of F's.

  11. Ahem...I found 6. But then, having seen similar tests, I knew that I would miss something if I do not count carefully. So, I think I am a 'cultivated' genius.

    What this genius found difficult, was the blackened font.. :D
