your experience*** true Experience

Just do it - don't cheat!!!

Try this its actually quite good.


But don't cheat!


Count the number of F's in the following text in 15 seconds:


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



Managed it?

Scroll down only after you have counted them!

OK?



How many?




Three? (You r definitely male!!!)




Wrong, there are six - no joke!



Read again!


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



The reasoning is further down...

The MALE brain cannot process the word "OF".

Incredible or what?

Anyone who counts all six F's on the first go has a brain of a Female (No hurt intended for exceptional guys counting "six")


You can test this by asking a Guy/Girl near you to work it out.

[stara szkapa]

it worked

[KR Campbell]

I cheated, scanned to the end and saw the answer ( without reading why ) and *still* got three! Any reason *why* we can't do it?

[Dushy Inguva]

Un-believably true !!!

[Amit Agrawal]

Yeah its true...but the question is why don't we read OF??

[Hussein Baghdadi]

I counted 4 Fs !!
I am not a male or female ???
I asked my brother to count the Fs, he counted 3
nice post.

[Balaji Loganathan]

4

[Amanda Leigh]

Ok I only counted 3 also. I thought I was female... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

[Ernest Friedman-Hill]

My wife also saw only 3. Where'd you get the idea that women see all 6?

[Maxim Katcharov]

That was great. I only counted three, and then went back to find the other three. I only found two. I could have sworn there were only two. I had to use the browsers find feature to pick out all six. Really surprised me seeing the second OF on the second line.

You're just mad cus you couldn't reach the end of the first sentance before the time ran out!

[chanakya khatri]

I counted 5..still looking for elusive 6!

[Joyce Lee]

Did anyone count more than 6?

May be they dont know how to count.

[Santosh Maskar]

I counted 3 , my friend (female) she counts 6

Greateeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Jeroen Wenting]

I counted 4 too, then on 2nd reading 5 and on 3rd reading all 6.

AFAIK I'm no hermaphrodite or otherwise between sexes

[Rashmi Banthia]

I am a female - counted 6. It works!
Interesting post.

[Ben Wood]

I counted 3. I think the trick is that "of" is such a common word that is so often used in english so the brain sort of speed reads those portions of a sentence for efficiency. It is so ingrained that even when we know were about to be tricked it still gets most of us

[Tina Desai]

I too counted 6. Waiting for my hubby to return from work!

[Arjun Shastry]

so that I can assure him that I am 100% woman!

[fred rosenberger]

i counted 6. i guess my wife will be somewhat disappointed...

let;s verify with some more female and male

[Bacon]

I read it three times, counting very carefully. I was tempted to cheat and use the "find" option. I did not, and I counted 3! Astounding, very interesting.

or take the famous standing stone of Lancre. There's exactly one of them but it's impossible to count.

Huh? Maybe because I am female, didn't quite understand what you mean...

hey, this will work with the sex , and checked with so many male / female

if anybody count 3 f then he is male
and 6 for female
but there is an exception for those who will count 4 and 5

this might happen some female will count 3 like you , so your mind is looks like a gentalman mind .
and some male will count 6 , then definatly they acting as a female , belive or not but this is a fact.

If you count 6 all 3 times,then you are 100 %female.
If you count 6 atleast once in 3 chances then you are almost female.
If you count 1 in all 3 chances then you are 100% male
If you count atleast 1 in 3 chances then you are almost male.
If you count 3 twice(with no 1) in 3 chances then you are male but tilted towards female.
If you count 4 twice(with no 6) in 3 chances then you are female but tilted towards male.

It works.Only 5% of male i hav tested said 6.60% female said 6.

I think the reason maybe,i have seen a questien in many personality tests.that is,

Do u care for minute details or you'll be interested in seeings things as whole(not caring minute details)?.

I think girls care details than male.So male tends to forget that 'OF'.

Any other ideas?.

So does that mean I act as a male?
What exactly do I do like a male? i don't dress up like male, I'm very sensetive and like pink and red color, kittens and puppies. I like comedies, dramas and family movies. I wear long hair, make-up, tight clothes and high heels, I like knitting and scrapbooking. I like fashion magazines and female fashion. Noone ever acused me that i walk or talk like a man, and I bet I don't. So where is male behavior in me??
