I'm mortified, I've seen it before so I took particular note of the "Of's"
and counted six 'f's. thought I'd better recheck and each time I reread it the last one became invisible, so I voted 5. Confused

When I first saw it I managed 4, read it again and only saw 3, red it a third time and saw 4 again.......

I wonder if this was devised by an insurance company or lawyer for the small print section of somedocument or other Shocked

People that are used to reading will get it every time; Generally when we read, especially fast, our mind reads the words, and will sort the important context ahead of your comprehension the word "OF" is not important and also your mind doesn't sound the letter "F" its said as "OV"
Thats the easiest way to explain it without getting testicle Cool Laughing
