Very Cool Trick (only takes 1 minute)



       Quick test of intelligence. Don't cheat! Because if you
       do, the test would be no fun. I promise, there are no tricks
       to the test.

           Read this sentence:

                      FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
                      SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC-
                      IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
                      THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

          Now count aloud the F's in that sentence.  IMPORTANT, count
       them ONLY ONCE:   do not go back and count them again.  See
       below...

          Z
          Z
          Z
          Z
          Z

          ANSWER:

       There are six F's in the sentence.

       One 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.
       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?
