How
many F's did you count? Three?
WRONG
ANSWER !
There
are six F's in the text. Take a look:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.
The
explanation is:
The human brain pays little attention to words that are not very important
for understanding the sentence, like the word 'OF'. Moreover, the fact
that the sentence is written in capital letters makes it harder to distinguish
the F's. If you counted the correct number of F's you are very special.
(It is also possible that you stared at your screen for a very long
time.)
