Can your brain count?

[Region3]

After my other post about how the brain does strange things, I remembered this one. If you've not seen it before, all you have to do is count the number of times letter f appears in the sentence.

None. They are all "F"s

6, Owen I bet you overlooked OF

I feel dumb now

I first saw it in a university rag-mag about 25 years ago and it drove me nuts.

No internet back then and I'd stare at it for ages going through it one letter at a time and could still only see 3!

I don't think I'm dumb, so don't feel bad about it Owen

23.......bugger this stutter!

Clearly there are no fs in "the sentence".

me no understanding.....

 

[Owen_Thomas_14]

I think i can clearly say my brain CANT count

 

[StrangelyBrown]

It's because you pronounce 'of' as 'ov' the brain overlooks it and ignores it as an 'f'. Unless you've seen this before you'll more than likely get it wrong.

perhaps 4??

I counted none, but then I'm pedantic and the riddle was to count the number of lower case f's in the sentence, which was all in upper case.
