This isreally cool.

(i love this part... its absolutely amazing!)
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".

This is an oldie but goodie - "f" has two different sounds in the sentence "ff" and "vv" - the first two words trigger the brain to look for the "ff" sound, and thus overlooks the "vv" sound in "of".
