Senior Citizen Test

[OBJ]

Take the following test and see how far along ya' are. The test is simple and easy. Read the following sentence and determine how many "F's" there are.<br /><br />"FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDIES COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS"

Re: Senior Citizen Test

6, I had to read it several times though. And I originally said 4 until I read it two more times. I guess I'm on the decline.

Re: Senior Citizen Test

Hope I didn't throw you off SBN...I meant "F" without the "'s".<br /><br />I see one correct answer so far. There are six. Reason being, when you read, the brain dosen't process "OF". Crazy but true. Had me stumped for a few minutes until I read each word individually.<br /><br />Good Morning anyway!<br /><br />Whoops! Two correct answers.

Not as many F's as my high school report card.

OK Jim, that's what I was going by. <br />That's ok though.

Re: Senior Citizen Test

Must be the begining of the end for me, I read it word for word with my pointer and still missed the "of's". Actually I think someone slipped them in after I read the answer just to mess with me.

Re: Senior Citizen Test

This is a variation of a screening test for proofreaders.<br /><br />It becomes easy if you examine it backwards.
