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...

Tell me how many you counted on your FIRST try. Ofcourse you can mention how many u found after rechecking.

Its a straightforward question without any trickery, loopholes and no need for google. :)

LOL...I didn't even read the passage, I just looked at every letter to see if it was an F

When I was in college, I remember an FBI agent gave a presentation and used this passage as an example on how to test people's skills at observation. Most people got the answer wrong (between 2-5), then he suggested reading the passage backwards.

Those F's seemed to pop out of nowhere.
