A quick test of intelligence. Don't cheat!  Because if you did,
 the test would be no fun. I promise, there are no tricks to the test.

 Read this sentence:

               FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
               SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
               IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
               THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.


 Now count aloud the F's in that sentence.  Count them ONLY ONCE: 
 do not go back and count them again.


Write the number down.

Is that your FINAL ANSWER?

You are absolutely certain? Now, go back to the statement and count the "Fs" starting from the end first.

The results will show you why most people got Y2k wrong.

YOU SKIPPED SOME STEPS.

There are six F's in the sentence. If you found two then you are a

idiot. One of average intelligence finds three of them. If you

spotted four you're above average. If you got five, you can turn your

nose at most anybody. If you caught six, you are a genius. There is

no catch. Many people forget the "OF"'s. The human brain tends to

see them as V's and not F's. Pretty weird, huh?

For as far as I find fathomable, five affable "f's" figure to be found when I fixated, fearful at first. Furthermore, if a few folks find fifteen or forty-four, it could be from fatigue, feasting on fatty foods or for fooling with a fiddle while forgetting family and friends alike.

Or not...

Put me down for 5....but I've not been to the pool yet today, perhaps I'll come back and take it later :-)

If you get the "right" number you are intelligent, and if you get the "wrong" number, you aren't?

That's pretty stupid.

I can just hear Heller after he takes this test

"Yea, well I only got two, but did you know I am a published author? And I was was featured in a regional Who's Who guide - and I have a nice resume..."

Hey Y2KPro,

How many did you find?
I missed each one that was in an "of".

That is really cool. Thanks for posting that.
