I counted 6 but I don't believe things like that. After all all you're doing is counting letters. I didn't even read the paragraph

I just counted the "F" letters.
:grin: this was kind of funny. I counted 6 right away, but my husband struggled to find first 4 then 5.
I got 3.
I never even noticed the of's until they were pointed out.
I feel so stupid, with a genius intellect like mine you would think I would spot something like that. Teaches me to stop being so lazy to do nothing more than give a casual glance.
If you do as the test asks and actually count individual letters then you work in a more systematic manner.
I counted 3!
I also have a systemic quotient of 101 (very high)
and I know I'm not stupid either, so there must be another explanation for it. :?
I got it on my second try, it's tricky. I process the whole mess, then realize I'm short 3 F's. I looked at the words, then saw "OF" and got the last 3.
Tricky, tricky, tricky...
That was easy. I just had to pretend I could barely read the text. I nearly skipped a couple of "of's", though.
I got 5 on my first try... but part of that was my sequencing difficulty kicking in. (For stuff like that I have to count on my fingers.)
I tend to have to read things more than once anyway but as a few other people said I wasn't 'reading' the text, I was just looking for F's.
Tiricky but doable with a bit of effort.
:grin:
Might have to see what my BF gets when he gets home from work.
i got 6 actually. they told me to count the f,s, so i just read out alphabet by alphabet and count when i read an "F". :oops:
ok they did ask for alphabets so i look at alphabets.
I got 6, though I did feel the urge to skip over the 'of's in my initial read-through.
