Mind Game

(page last updated 15/12/98).

Try this intelligence test:

  1. READ this sentence: 
    FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.
  2. Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count them only ONCE; do not go back and count them again.

Click to Hide the answer:

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 apparently tends to see them as V's instead of F's.
