Thank You.
I don't understand...I think I do, but I'm not sure. An explanation is needed, that's how stupid I am.

I think it's something about the brain not recognising "of" for some reason.

i still only got four the second time!
The brain looks for efff, and misses ovv, if it happens too quickly or something?
However, if like me, you examined each letter, its impossible to miss all the Fs!
"That man has a a big head"
Two a's. You'll spot it easily if you're in the right 'frame of mind' (very likely after reading this thread), but normally you'd miss it quite a bit.
..when I first looked at it, I counted three 'F's about 5 times, then I saw the of's and began to worry..
! WHAT ELSE DO WE MISS !
