FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDY COMBINED WITH EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.
Now count aloud the Fs in the above. Count them only once: do not go back and count them again.
Most people only see three Fs. There are six.
Why do we miss the others?

I only counted three - took me a while to figure out where I'd missed them! Could it be something to do with word length or their position in the word?

I counted 5 first time. Its the prepositions which fail to register. I missed the 'of' in the second line.
