Taken from facebook
Read this sentence:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC 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
TO VIEW THE ANSWER look down
There are six F's in the sentence.
The "average" person finds three.
There is no catch. Many people do not see the Fs in the word "OF". It has been argued that the human brain tends to see them as Vs and not Fs.

Thing is I knew what the answer was as I've seen it before and I could still only count 5 until about the 5th try!

I got them all, but I think it was only because it said to read the thing only once, so I made sure I concentrated.

If you got six it means you read like a 4 year old - finger on the page and out loud

when you read "of" you hear it as "ov" i assume this is why most people will count three.

It's more to do with you interpolating the sentence. You only read the important words and ignore the smaller ones.
