Southend Blue Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Read the following text carefully : FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF MANY YEARS OF EXPERTS Now how many times does the letter F appear in the above ? It's amazing how many times people get it wrong even on the third or fourth time of reading. A very small percentage get it right on the first go, maybe they have a unique talent or something. If anyone says SEVEN TIMES on first go, then you have a right answer. Well Done on that achievement. This was taken from College last week although have seen a similar variation before and was featured on our TWTD forum last year. It provided some considerable interest.

Fiale Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 @Southend Blue I think it's cheating, there were 4 "F's" the first time I read it, but I think it must add one F each time you read through it, as it went 4, 5, 6 and the final time there were 7... I don't think the cheat resets though, as it has remained at 7.... well at least until I asked someone else.. and they said 5.... silly sod...

That's why you should never type in capitals, if you did the same test again but with correct capitalisation then the result will be completely different.

123456789000 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Isn't it 9? The test says: how many times does F appear in the above? Well the sentence 'read the following text carefully' appears above, which contains 2 F's, so add that to the 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
