ReFur Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 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..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 There is always one Linda...I counted seven. No joke...I was wrong, but it shows how bizarrely my mind must work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earendil Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 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.

Guest Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Being both dyslexic and ambedextrous life is really confusing so what's wrong with what Linda wrote??? OFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Being both dyslexic and ambedextrous life is really confusing so what's wrong with what Linda wrote??? 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.

Fox Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 A lateral thinker; Christmas Day once fell on December 26th Explain how this could have happened. Would it have anything to do with the very "first" Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Barguzin Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Heck, as far as I am concerned, Christmas is always (partially) held on the 26th in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allfurme Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejoe420 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 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!! Unclejoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allfurme Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob23 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 The one that springs to mind is: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog But is it the shortest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allfurme Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 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.

allfurme Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 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?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 It might make sense, but what good does it do if most if the readers aren't going to understand it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailonfurs Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 can anyone tell us what it means after all? My english are bad but not that bad. This seems chinese! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob23 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
