Observation test.
This is on a forum my wife reads. It took me 3 goes to get it right. How many '"f's" are in the following sentence.
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE- SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF- IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
I got 4 first time.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

The rest of it
there are 6!! --No joke. Read it again. The reasoning is explained further down.
The brain cannot process "OF". Incredible or what? Go back and look again!! Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first
go is a genius. Three is normal, four is quite rare.

Dont want to blow my own but i got 6, i traced it with my mouse pointer and skimmed over one 'of' but went straight back to it 
I admit reading it on paper would be harder though.

6 but I also traced it with my mouse. I've seen this kinda thing before and I always get caught out so I went extra carefully this time
Pete
It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care...
