correct the way it works is .....the brain cannot process the word "of" so everybody misses them and comes up with a 3 count but i bet you have seen this before and you didnt come up with the answer straight away

when you put anything on google it always leave out the of as the computer also has the same problem,very strange even when you know they are there you still sometimes miss them

Hi Kenny, I honestly havent seen it before but it took me awhile to get it and my first count was about 3 I think, and yes I missed the "of's". Very strange.

Oh bugger I've got Alzheimer's,
I only counted four the first time, but Dave you have a bigger problem than me if can't see the full number of six after it is explained to you.
