Hey, give him a break. I counted 19...so he missed one!

But I'm seeing double due to the whiskey.

I wouldn't say "Genius" so much as "Able to pay attention well enough".

dude, you highlighted 6

[K7 - WC's Crowd Extra]

I got six, and apparently a genius. My previous mathematics exam result screams otherwise, though.

Is there some trick to this I'm not seeing? I dont get how anyone comes up with less than 6...

The trick is most people dont notice the one in Scientific, when people read a word they dont read it letter by letter, they read it as a whole word, so the only two letters they pay attention to are the first and last letters and the brain does the rest.

Most people notice the of's and the other two words that escape me at the moment because they either start or finish with F so the brain will pick it up. In scientific however, that F escapes you unless you read it letter by letter.

I may be wrong here, but I believe that's it.

When I read it, I specifically read the F in scientific. I missed, however, the f's in "of" because they don't make the "ffff" sound. They make the "vvv" sound.

O ok that's the answer then. I'm thinking about another mind trick

So... that's six tests I've taken that proves that I'm a genius (that and my 141 IQ). I guess this settles it! I'm a frickin' genius!

I see 6.

six. Being able to count makes you a genius now? Wow standards are low, ah well, say hello to you intellectual overlord




One,One supergenius ahahahah.

[nisi]

6. And this is well known enough that my first thought was, "Ohh, better make sure to count all the "of's". I don't think it makes us geniuses, just observant.

On an unrelated but still pretentious topic, I technically qualified for MENSA back in the day.

The answer is eight.

What you do is to count the number of

[/u] F[/u]'s in this sentance:

FINISHED F[/u]ILES ARE A RESULT
OF[/u] YEARS OF[/u] SCIENTIF[/u]IC STUDY
COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE
OF[/u] YEARS[/i][/quote]

The answer is 2, it says this sentance which has two Fs not the following sentance which has six.

Do i win?

[Kevin Hamilton]

Actually that may be the right answer. I dub thee Lanny Poffo.

[Shy Guy]

you're all wrong. only i, desi, godz, and whoever else said 6 is correct.

[Kevin Hamilton]

I said six. woohoo.

[Ace Diamond]

Yes, I said six! I did it, I am a winner, WOO! [/Owen Hart]
