Are you a genius?

[KHMER ROGUE]

Since C-Ditty and Manny's doing Trivia questions, I thought I'd do another kind of game here. Here it is:


This will blow your mind...!



Just do it - don't cheat !!!!!!!!!!!!



Try this its actually quite good.

But don't cheat !

Count the number of 'F's in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS

Managed it?

............ Scroll down only after you have counted them!

OK?

















How many?
























Three?

Wrong, there are six - no joke!



Read again!

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS



















The reasoning is further down...

The brain cannot process the word "OF". ! Incredible or what?

Anyone who counts all six 'F' on the first go is a genius, Three is normal

 

[HUGHJORGEN]

easy!

 

[sereneman]

Wow that is a trip, I admit it, I missed them. And I do have a genius I.Q., those tests do not measure general knowledge, only your ability to learn. I still don't know what they mean, I think i'm a retarded genius.

 

[Nathan]

I'm not a genius as far as I know but I took an intellgience test and scored perfect on the math and logic sections - the gre's that is (98% percentile of 1 million people who took it). The verbal was not so good though - 71%. So, i assume this might fall in the verbal or something like that for many people. I don't think it assesses the full breadth of one's intelligence is what 'm driving at - if any of one's actual intelligence.

 

[Code]

Not a genius, but I was able to process the "f"s in the word "of" without a problem.

 

[HappyScrappy]

I'm a super uber genius - mr smartypantshead and stuff - but I didn't see any of the words except for the "OF"s

also, I farted.

 

[Silent Method]

This test has nothing to do with genius or IQ. Genius or not, I would have fully expected Code to process all the 'F's. Anyone guess why?

 

[HappyScrappy]

crytography rhymes with lithography

 

[Nathan]

His parents trained him at a young age to count F's wherever he goes, be it rain or shine. The poor child was given nothing more than scraps of 2 week old roast beef upon finishing his f counting chores.

 

[pushing_fe]

Holy crap, I only counted three and I went over it like four times because I knew that there was some kind of trick to it. I still think that it was a trick, the "of's" were not in the sentence the first time I read it, but then they appeared when I scrolled back up.

The only logical conclusion that I can gather is that KHMER ROGUE is practicing black magic.

 

[HappyScrappy]

because his favorite color is #FFFFFF

because his real name is FFFF FFFFFFFFF

 

[HappyScrappy]

because F makes up half of the word IF.
because F makes up a full third of the word FOR.
because F makes up one fifth of the word FALSE.

there is no F in team, but there is one in FAILURE.
Same thing can be said of the letter I on that last one.

 

[scruples]

i saw one f and two z

when is 98th%=perfect?

 

[beefybull]

If a "Genius" is one with a 140+ IQ, then yes I am

 

[Code]

Aside from my work in cryptogaphy, I can't think of a good reason.

I mainly think it's because I'm a slow reader

 

[Frackal]

I just score a solid 240 on this online IQ test. Had to do crossword puzzles and everything

 

[pigginsly]

lol......

Bingo. Your brain is wired (or has wired itself) to work in such a manner.

Hahahaha! Was it a little kids' one, Frack? j/k

I have tested consistently around 150, both in online & offline tests. Also have quite the knack for standardized tests.

A legit 240 would make you one of the smartest people of all-time. I think Stephen Hawking's is around 275 and he is generally considered to be one of the smartest people alive.

Here is a chart which ranks IQ's from 100 to 202, giving the common ratio's of people that have them. For example,
1 in 2 people - 100 IQ
1 in 9.5 people - 120 IQ
1 in 1100 people - 150 IQ
1 in 160000 people - 170 IQ

70 or less is retarded, so I'm guessing Hippedy Hop's is right around 80 (since he can figure out how to work EF).

 

[bigguns7]

Funny because I even knew the trick and still only counted 5.

 

[Warik]

1 in 9.5 people - 120 IQ

I knew it! 90% of the world's population is dumb. =)
