Post; Strange But Accurate


Test your eyes. No tricks, just truth.

ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST

Count every "F" in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI-
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

(! SEE BELOW)


HOW MANY ?

.................. 3?


WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !

The reasoning behind it is 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.


Another strange fact: Why can a Woman stand with her heels and back against a wall and lift a chair off the floor and hold it while it is impossible for a man to do?

Try it and then win some beers with it when you go to the bar/pub.

easy trick for those sort of things is to read it bachwards, start and the end and finish at the start. this removes your brains natural disposition to skip over certain letters (like F in of) and makes you take a lot more notice of the words

Wow Missileer that's amazing. Yeah I found 3.
One thing though, of course men can't hold the chair back to the wall and heels on: Men can't wear heels!
