I got 6.


I guess my brain is superior.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My signature is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My signature, without me, is useless. Without my signature, I am useless.

That was retarded.. I counted 6 F''s.

The brain cannot process the word "OF".


That''s the biggest load of crap I''ve ever heard. I think the kid who created this was just sad because he was too stupid to count 6 F''s, so he has to make up some crap to justify it. Pretty sad.

It''s a real test I''ve seen a lot. It''s been posted here before as a matter of fact, and it does catch a lot of people out. This kid didn''t create it (and he didn''t claim to). Most often it''s the second OF that people miss when they are scanning it quickly. Don''t know why though.

Ah, apparantly it has to do with the fact that the F in OF actually makes a V sound so the brain can sometimes skip over it without realising.

The test is available:

I got a 6.

How do I explain this? Simple.

I have more than a grade 1 understanding of spelling.

I found only three. Guess that makes me either stupid or the only one who''s honest about the results.

I counted 6. It''s really not that hard. All you do is find and F and then think # F''s + 1...

I think it has to do with the fact that the brain skips certain common words so you can read faster.

You people really don''t get tired of simplistic jokes, do you? Check out this instead:



What you have to do, is look directly at the centre of the circle and move your head in an out (closer and away from the screen).

I also invite people to post links to similar pictures that challenge your eyes.

As for resist banners - I heed people to look at the picture above (with their eyes open), move their head in the abovementioned fashion and resist The Effect.

Your ruler must be broken, because they are straight.

They are straight... they are just not continuos lines... it's like saying this is straight.

M

...etc

It greatly amplifies the effect. With truly straight lines, it all but dissappears.
