Acid Attic BearsSame as Lisa :). Mmn no : 2 "F" in the first sentence and then 3 ^^. I say 5 :).
Matilda Huggington-beareI have counted three. But I dont understand what this is about :doh: 
Kim-Bee BearsI have counted three. But I dont understand what this is about :doh: :lol:
I see three too... am I missing something??? 
Matilda Huggington-bearethe first two don't count because they are not in the 'following text'. Thats how I read it anyway. I'm not known for my great intellect :doh:
Melbourne, AustraliaBronwen,
To answer your question ... one.
:crackup:

Six here!
Acid Attic BearsOh yes gosh ! Must be 1 ! The question is in "this" sentence, the following text is not the sentence !
Is it that ?
Luxembears5. Brownen..spill it. What's the answer?
There are six f's!
Warmest Wednesday hugs, :hug:
Aleta
Bine-TeddiesThere are six letters 'f', but on the first count most of us overlook the 'f' in 'of' and thus count only three. Right Bronwen?
Bears by EdieONE - it asks how many are in THIS sentence (doesn't say anything about whether it's in a word, Lisa!) and then leads you on with the text after to distract you and make you think you should count the f's in it!
Bear hugs, Edie
Bine-TeddiesWell it says "Count every F in the following text:".
Flying Fur StudiosJudi, i have the anwser...it's one of these...
1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or NONE...has to be one of them! :crackup:
Now that's funny.
I agree though, I'm dying to know the answer'
Bine-TeddiesLisa - I do follow your reasoning, but I think you are making it too difficult and complex. The text btw is a sentence: 'Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years.....' Ok, the sentence doesn't end and it doesn't make much sense. I have seen this kind of question before and it was to show how our brain reads over some small words without noticing, which is a lot more interesting than trying to trick people into discussions on what makes a sentence or a word.
BRONWEN relieve us of this pain :crackup:
Past Time BearsSix.
Posts: 2,203 Cleathero CreationsSorry ladies, I didn't get back on the pc yesterday. It isn't a trick question.
Now there are 6 f's in the paragraph, sentence of whatever you wish to call it. 
The brain doesn't process the 'f' found in the word 'of' so if you go back and reread it carefully you will spot the missing 'f's'
Well done to those who got it you either have seen it or something similar before or your brains are functioning really well!!!
Cleathero CreationsAnd actually the comments this created by mistake is really intresting to see how people work things out and shows how things can easily be misinterpereted because one person sees it totally different to 'the norm'.
Back Road BearsA secret: next time you get a brain teaser like this.... read the sentance/paragraph BACKWARDS and don't look at whole words, just letters.
I got six right off... only because I got this in an email a few weeks back and failed miserably... took me like 5 times to finally find all the F's! :doh:
My brain works best with at least 8 cups of coffee!! That, and I like word search puzzles....you know the kind with the scrambled up letters where you have to find the words upside down, sideways, forwards and backwards.
Lisa, 
You really tied your brain in a knot over this one. :crackup: You're funny.
Warmest bear hugs, :hug:
Aleta
Cleathero CreationsAha!! This is a trick question of course you are not part on the norm, for a start you are a teddy bear artist.....
a painter teddy bear artist so you are definately not of the nor.... My parents always said I was an eccentric and they are the masters of understatement.
I always get in trouble as I say something in response to someone and then realise that they didn't even mean what I thought
