This has got to be one of the most interesting intelligence tests I have ever seen. It's very short, so try it. You may be amazed. Don't cheat! Because if you do, the test would be no fun. I promise, there are no tricks to the test.

Read this sentence:


FINISHED FILES ARE NOT THE
RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.



Now count ALOUD the F's in that sentence.
Count them ONLY ONCE: do not go back and count them again.

Now see the answer below:





















The answer is...
There are six F's in the sentence. One of average intelligence finds three of them. If you spotted four, you're above average.
If you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody. If you caught six, you are a genius.
There is no catch. Many people forget the "OF's". The human brain tends to see them as V's and not F's. Pretty weird, huh?

It fools almost everybody.
 
I realized the "of" thing before I finished the second line and got five...
But oddly enough had to redo it three times before I found the sixth! And it was an "of"!!
Why don't our brains want to see them? A pronunciation/letter glitch?
 
*insert embarrassed smilie here*... I got six of them! :)
 
well ive done this before... but six anyways!!! :D I hope that means im still a genius ;)
 
WOW!

Now I feel bad... That is so strange...
