There are no Tricks to the test. Read this sentence:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.
Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Important, count them ONLY ONCE: do not go
back and count them again |
THE ANSWER:
One of average intelligence finds three of them. If you spotted four, you're above average. If you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody. If you caught six, you are a genius. There is no catch. Many people forget the "OF"'s. The human brain tends to see them as V's and not F's. |

Did we ever get the answer to this one? These replies are becoming more of a riddle than the original post! :)
[Later...]
If the answer is: it was a water-gun. I'm going to be very disappointed!! |
The man had the hiccups. |

Is he a parachutist ?? That was the answer to a similar one |
is the stick a matchstick that would not light? |
I think the man was a jockey who was thrown from his horse. |
