Anger. It's part of the denial process.

CTRL-F (in Netscape/Mozilla) brought down the "Find" box. I'm smarter than you all, I had the mental capacity to get the computer to check for me. It found 6.

Ha.

Why the fuck is that so hard?

It's probably pattern recognition (Not the technical term, I'm sure). Your brain, being trained to recognize the engish language, dosen't acknoledge "of" an individual word, and hense, dosen't break it down the way it would a longer or more complex word.

I got three as well.

doubt it, i think it has something to do with the fact that the f's in of sound ike a v.

that is incorrect...bang.

That is correct... the brain takes certain words... for granted, I suppose you could say (most noteable are 'of', and 'is'). The brain realises that they are there but for some reason won't break down the word.

In that test the average human brain will only locate 3 of the 'f's , it will discount the 3 'of's...
