There's a trick I use with these tests that nearly always works. Just count the Fs starting at the end of the sentence and going backwards, when I did that I got the right count the first time. However, I tried to count them in the normal way after that and I needed a couple of attempts to get the right count again.

Yeah there's ways of cheating, but if done as said read the text counting the F's as you go.........it's surprising how many it will catch out

I would've put €100 on it being 4. Even when I read there was 6 I couldn't find them, it was only until I saw the lines with them highlighted in blue that I saw them.

AllForIt

I got them all but I have a vague memory I'd seen this before so was extra effing careful.

This, or a variation, has been around for years. We tend to count the hard 'f' sounds and skip the softer 'f' that's in the word 'of'. Nothing to do with Alzheimer's, obviously...

I pressed ctrl-F to find and it hilighted all the F's So I passed the test.

so if you get it wrong you've got early alzheimer's??

Or if you get it right. I got the six, so I'm likely fcuked. :eek:

I was going to do that, but my keyboard has no F key.

Have to admit, I thought it was one of those trick questions, and counted the Fs in your question, got two!

Spoiled the answer for myself before I read the sentence I was supposed to read
