trippy little brain thing - funny and interesting

Read the following paragraph and count how many times the letter "F" appears in it.

Its because the brain doesn't process the word "OF". Here it is again. Count the 6 f's.

Pretty trippy huh! If you counted 6 the first time, you're very clever. 3 is normal.

oh my god thats so cool. i counted 3 the first time.

Guess I'm very fucking clever, thank you very much.
That eagles thing had me stumped. Thank you for restoring a little of my sense of intellectual worth.

Sweet eight.

It fooled me, and the people I showed it too. But then you and gedda saw straight thru it... in the email it said if you counted 6 straightaway, you are "genius".

Hmmm.

holy crap, i counted 16.! wut does that mean...?

that is wicked though, i musta read it like 10 times and still got three....oh well

=)

Cool I got six...

I got six..now I can breathe again..

amp counting 16 means you don't know your alphabet. i've done that one before, but still got 3.

I got 6. But then again I've seen many things like this before, so maybe I was concious of the whole "of" thing.

i got 6. no fooling me...

Same Harvey, I got six, but I knew there was a trick, so I read it reaaally slooowly.

Fuck, is Slowley a word?

Shit, I keep swearing, sorry, shit. : )

Because genarally OF is read OV, it's how we say it. So we miss it when we read it.

exuse me but i must leave now and find my happy place,
that is MENTAL!!!!

i got 6 too..
i think another word which tricks the brain was "the"

nice one, i counted three

I counted six but I used my fingers to count.
