Number of F's in Reading Test

Featured

A classic cognitive test demonstrates how easily our brains can overlook seemingly obvious details, leading to a widespread miscount.

What People Remember

In the common reading test sentence 'Finished Files Are The Result Of Years Of Scientific Study Combined With The Experience Of Years,' most people remember seeing fewer than six 'F's.

What's Actually True

There are actually six 'F's in the sentence, but many people consistently only count three or four due to how the brain processes information and often skips over the 'of' sound.
