Here is another:

 

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".

 

 

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!

 

Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.

 

 

Three is normal, four is quite rare.

Send this to your friends.

It will drive them crazy.!

And keep them occupied

For several minutes..!

There is always one Linda...I counted seven.

 

No joke...I was wrong, but it shows how bizarrely my mind must work.

[Earendil]

I counted six, but then again I am godlike.

 

Nice one though, I can see how it confuses an unprepared mind. (I get disturbingly focused on things like these lol)

[Guest]

get disturbingly focused on your Sami girl in fur.

use your starglass

[Guest]

I have a good one for you.

count up to ten on both hands, aloud. Stop halfway.

 

How many on the first hand?

 

 

You should have 5

 

Now count on. Done it? Ten then.

 

Now count backwards from ten and stop at you little finger again.

 

How many?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes 6.

 

 

 

 

How scary is that?

 

 

they put us up in planes based on this s**t.

[allfurme]

A lateral thinker;

 

Christmas Day once fell on December 26th

 

Explain how this could have happened.

[Guest]

Being both dyslexic and ambedextrous life is really confusing so what's wrong with what Linda wrote???

 

 

OFF

OFF

 

For any word that has four or more letters in it, the letters inside (the word) are jumbled up but the two letters on the outside are kept the same.

Would it have anything to do with the very "first" Christmas?

[Mr Barguzin]

Heck, as far as I am concerned, Christmas is always (partially) held on the 26th in the US.

[allfurme]

Fox; No. think laterally not logically

Is 'Christmas Day' the name of a horse?

[allfurme]

Bravo Bob23. Apparently it happened in (I think) 1899. There was a race meet on Boxing Day where a horse called Christmas Day fell at one of the fences

[Unclejoe420]

On the subject of Brain Stuff, has anyone tried that "Dr Kawashima's Brain Training" on the Nintendo DS? And if you want more mind-bending, read the following passage forwards, then backwards:

 

T Eliot, top bard, notes putrid tang emanating: is sad. I'd assign it a name - gnat dirt upset on drab pot toilet.

 

give that one a go!!

[allfurme]

I am not a nerd i promise, i just love useless information.

 

UncleJoe, it's called a palindrome i believe.

 

Question; what is the shortest sentence that contains all the letters of the (English) alphabet?

[bob23]

The one that springs to mind is:

 

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

 

But is it the shortest?

[allfurme]

no

This is the only one I know of.

[allfurme]

Bob23, This is the sentence; it is a headline in a newspaper about the annoyance of a professor at seeing graffitti at the end of a glacial valley and i promise it does make sense:

 

Cwm fjord bank glyphs vext quiz.

[bob23]

Evidently they were a little light on news that day...

[allfurme]

Bob23, It was a metaphorical headline so i suppose they were metaphorically short on news or short on metaphorical news or a combination of both or maybe neither?!?!

[Fox]

It might make sense, but what good does it do if most if the readers aren't going to understand it?

[mailonfurs]

can anyone tell us what it means after all?

My english are bad but not that bad. This seems chinese!

[bob23]

I googled it, and the best translation I could find was:

 

"Carved figures in a mountain hollow and on the bank of a fjord irritated an eccentric person."

 

For those interested, I also stumbled across more here:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangram

 

It includes several 'perfect pangrams' (i.e. where the sentence consists of exactly 26 letters, all different). I wonder if anyone ever managed to work one of them into an everyday conversation...
