    Lightbulb Alzheimer's Eye Test

    Got this in an email..thought it was a cool read!

    ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST


    Count every " F" in the following text:
    FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
    SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
    FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
    THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
    (SEE BELOW)


    HOW MANY ?
    WRONG, THERE ARE 6-- no joke.
    READ IT AGAIN !
    Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.
    The reasoning behind is further down.
    The brain cannot process "OF".

    Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!
    Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.
    Three is normal, four is quite rare.
    Send this to your friends.
    It will drive them crazy.!
    And keep them occupied
    For several minutes..!

    Heh, I got all six.

    I think that humans (at least most) try to do it by sounding out the words, kinda like listening for the f's. The 'f' in of sounds like a 'v', so you tend to dismiss it.

    As for some letters in words being scrambled, there is a branch of mathematics known as 'information theory'. What they do is try to determine how much of what you're getting (read, looking at or listening to, etc.) is redundant (ie. not needed).

    Pictures are probably the least redunant. There is verry little uneeded information there. They barely compress at all.

    On the other hand, language is atrocious. That's why when you ZIP a text file on your PC or mac, it will compress to 1/20 of its original size, without any loss at all!

    Hehe, I got 6, and when it said WRONG THERE ARE 6, that threw me for a sec. I was like, wrong? wrong what? I don't like any "test" that, in it's answer, automatically assumes everyone will get it wrong. I don't count letters by reading aloud and sounding it out; I count them by LOOKING for them. An F is pretty easy to spot.

    But clearly, I'm a genius. LOL

    I read it wrong and counted all the Z's instead. I came up with 12 of them.
