I am a genius also.  Perhaps it has something to do mainly with native English
speakers.

Kind regards,

You think you're smart? Try this out...

Read this sentence:


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


Now count the F's in that sentence. Count only once, don't go back a 2nd
time.













scroll down for answer















Try this on for size........







ANSWER:






There are six F's in the sentence

A person of average intelligence finds three of them.

If you spotted four, you're above average.

If you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody.

Before you look at the explanation, feel free to go back and count again,
there really are six in there.


give up?


If you caught six, you are a genius. There is no catch. Many people forget
the "OF"'s.  The human brain tends to see them as V's and not F's.


Pretty weird, huh?
