 ALZHEIMER'S' EYE TEST    

Count every '
F ' in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT

OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY

COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE

OF YEARS

WRONG, THERE ARE
6 -- no joke. READ IT AGAIN ! Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!! Anyone who counts all 6 'F's' on the first go is a genius.

If she is turning left, then the left side of your brain is prominent.

If she turns both ways for you then you have a 160 or better IQ.
