wow, i think i learned quite a bit there.
the first time, i counted "normal". But i wasn't satisfied, so I rechecked my work, and got the right answer!
so i guess i can go from normal to genius just by being careful :o
i think i know the trick behind this little trick, btw, but i don't wanna type anything because i don't want to spoil it
I got it right.
I also discovered that if you were looking for the shape of the letter 'F', then it appears 20 times - take a careful look at all the 'E's. ;)
When proof reading or doing an exercise like this one, start at the end of the words and work backward to the beginning. This forces your mind to look at each individual letter and not skim over them like you do when reading.
If it matters, I got 6. Yeah!

That's actually what I did, and still came up two short. :'(

Your avatar works well here. ;D
Seriously, are you on Firefox?
Just count the number of times you see the letter "F" in the blue text below. How hard can that be?
There is nothing wrong if you count only what you see.. that was the question wasnt it?
Just count the number of times you see the letter
Now, if the question was please investigate how many "F's" are in this sentence.? Then everyone would have looked extra carefully.

Try using Sean's link from top of the page, scroll down to "More Fun Stuff' click on it and you'll get a list, Penguine is fifth or so from the top. If that doesn't work then it's your Shockwave Flash settings.

My Shockwave and Flash were out of date (thanks for reminding me to sort that out), but I'm still getting a totally blank page.
