So try this.
Read this sentence:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS
Now count the "F"s in the sentence. Count them once and only
once without stopping or going back to the beginning.
Please read the answer only after you have counted the F's

There are six F's in the sentence.
How many did YOU detect ?????
Most people find three.
There is no trick. People tend to miss the F in OF.
Actually the human brain is likely to see V instead of F in OF.
Funny? No, SCARY !!!
