Thats freaking weird. After I read that it had six I went back and closely examined it and still didn't see the OFs.

This test is flawed. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I got 6 the first time, having never seen it before, and I'm dumb as a post.

I only found 3. It's interesting how our brains filter out "unimportant data." Taking articles out of sentences (i.e. "the" and "a") makes the sentence just as understandable. I suppose that's why some languages don't have these types of words. Then again, other languages have long-ass words to compensate.

I counted 5...missed the OF in the last line. I guess I'm almost a genius.

But I also have difficulty reading off a computer screen so I tend to read very slowly and deliberately.

I counted the exact same 5, twice in a row. I finally noticed the last OF going letter for letter.
