I counted 6. And no, I've never seen this test before. Even though my Mom and sister both had (and died from) Alzheimer's......if it looks like I have it too please don't tell me....

Default And the answer is???
Ok the answer is 6. The brain can not process "of" as an F.


FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE 2 on that line
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI 2 on that line (note the of's)
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH 1 on that line
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS... 1 on that line
6 total

according to the place I found this, most people guess 3. Cambridge university considers those who guess 6 on the first try to be "Genius" as only 8 % of people do.

For those of you who start reading this post after I post this. hope you enjoy it also.

By the way, I got 3 also when I first tried, our own AMN got all 6, guess we have to let her have the praise of being a genius after all.
