INTELLIGENCE
TEST
(This is not a trick
question)
Read this sentence :-
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS
OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.
Now count aloud the F's in that sentence.
Count them ONLY ONCE:
Do not go back and count them again.

There are six F's in the sentence.
One of average intelligence finds three of them.
If you spotted four, you're above average.
If you got five, you can turn your nose at almost anybody.
If you found six, you are a genius. There is
no catch. Many people forget the "OF"'s.
The human brain tends
to see them as V's and not
F's. It fools almost everybody.

SPELL CHECKER
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin not sea.
Eye Strike a quay and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye kin put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw
Eye am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

GENUINE
FOOTBALL COMMENTS
1. Well, it's Liverpool two, Ipswich
nil, and if the score stays this way,
I've got to fancy Liverpool for the
win.
2. He had an eternity to play that ball, but
took too long.
3. And so they have not been able to improve
on their 100% record.
4. With the last kick of the game, he scored
with a header.
5. Well, it's a fabulous kaleidoscope of colour:
almost all the Brazilians are wearing yellow shirts.
6. If that had gone in, it would definitely
have been a goal.
7. Their manager, Howard Wilkinson, isn't
here today, which strongly suggests that he may be elsewhere.
8. I am a firm believer that if one team scores
a goal, the other need to score two to win.
9. If a team scores early on, it often takes
an early lead.
10. You cannot possibly have counted the number
of passes made, but there were eight.
