Don's Amazing PuzzleMonday, March 3, 1997 by Dave Winer. Please read this sentence. FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE- SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF- IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS. Count the F's. How many did you find? To see the answer, scroll down the page until it appears. Dave PS: Thanks to Don Brown for forwarding this. It's a great puzzle! Solution Solution">There are six F's in the sentence. There is no catch. I found three. I went back and counted and recounted, and I was sure there were just three. So I wrote a script to see what was going on. It said there are six! Mystifying. Then I improved the script to show me where the F's were.
Right on, there is no catch. |
