...I don't think I'm a genius, but I swear I counted 6 at first reading.

I didn't get six at the second reading, but rather at two readings (three each time), so I am with the rest.
On the other way, I found the shortest way for an average professional to become a genius. As we know, genius is a person who looks at things differently. Here's the key – try reading the text backwards, and you won't miss a single "F".

Now that idea is true genius, Henrik!
I got 4 first time, so am clearly odd. I knew it!

I sort of knew this game and yet counted three.... *hides under a rock*
It's always comforting to know there are others who are blockheaded, isn't it?

Hi, I'm so glad you all liked my little game, here! Maybe tomorrow I'll post another one which is even crazier since you need to make some quick additions and then think to a word and everyone seems to think the same word..
Now, THAT'S ODD!
'Nite!

I'm dying to see the new game! And in a couple of hours I'm leaving on a trip and may not have Internet access for a couple of days!
For the record, I'm no genius, but I did see all 6. And I suspect Henrik's method works because the mind subconsciously tries to make sense of what we're reading, even when we tell it to just count f's. Going forwards, the brain identifies "of" as an "unimportant" word; going backwards, it doesn't.
Does that make any sense?
