RESULTS

Did you find them?

There are 6 F's in the sentence

A person of an average intelligence finds 3

If you spotted 4 You're above average

If you spotted 5 You can stick your nose up at almost everyone

If you spotted 6 You have the intelligence of a likely genius.

I counted 5
Enjoy!

[Ben]

Got all 6

Probably because I've done a similar test It's the word "OF" that people miss the "F" on. Because people pronounce it "OV" people don't pick up on the letter "F".

[Mr. Matt]

All 6 - like Ben taken somthing similar before so I know I have to take my time and make sure I get them all on the first read.

A lot of people when reading, skip right over of and don't realize that there's an 'f' there.

[slappyking]

There is only 1 - it say's 'Count all the F's in this sentence, ONLY ONCE.' this is the only sentence because it ends with a full stop, the other part - 'FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF- IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS' doesnt have a fullstop so its not a real sentence.

sentence meaning - (grammar) A grammatically complete series of words consisting of a subject and predicate, even if one or the other is implied, and typically beginning with a capital letter and ending with a full stop. (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sentence)
