Jokes What’s more difficult to translate than a joke? Two jokes! If there is one thing that is difficult to translate, it's jokes. Although, they can provide a nice five-minute break.

Default ALZHEIMER'S eye test :

count the letters “F” in the following text :


FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS
OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS ...


how many did you count ?
Count them again, just to be sure ...

3 ?
4 ?


no there are 6 SIX of them !”
For some reason our brain has difficulty in processing the word “OF” .
If you did find 6, you are next to a genius !

Hi!!! I counted 6... maybe because english is not my native language and Im more aware of the F in "of"... I don't know... I'm just trying to find an explanation.
Thanks for sharing Frank!!
