ok, heres a question. its sorta like one of those intelligence questions, but it takes a f**king genius to get it right. everyone gets ONE guess, and then ill PM them the answer. DO NOT GUESS TWICE, OR IF UVE SEEN THIS BEFORE, UR RUINING IT FOR EVERYONE ELSE!!
How many letter O's are there in the following quote:
"Today a commitee of scientists met in the downtown laborotories of Los Alamos, and began to speculate on various issues."
A. I made that quote up, and i have no idea about its validity (i.e. i dont know if there is, or ever was a commitee of scientists in the downtown labs of Los Alamos, whether there ARE labs in downtown Los Alamos, or even if there IS a downtown Los Alamos) B. This is NOT a trick question, it just deals in the way our minds work.

i meant any o's i said it wasnt a trick question like that. with the CORRECT quote, ur mind ignores the word "of" (u may have noticed this, if uve ever tryed to proofread a paper that has a missing "of" ud have to go over it a few times to see it) i dont know why it didnt work here, maybe the size of the thing i wrote or something... anyway, it didnt work and now i feel foolish.

trust me, when i saw the original quote at my friends house (hed gotten it in an email) even after he told me how many o's there were, i still didnt see them until he pointed out the "of"s, and id gone over it like 10 times... but it didnt work, i wonder why...

yeah, i knew someone would say that, and i can assure u that that is uneqivocally NOT true. i go to a VERY good school on a full scholarship, and im doing well. so, no, i am not dense, i just screwed up the quote.

Here try this: Read the following image and say the colours out loud, DO NOT read the word out. See if you can make it through all the whole thing without making a mistake or slowing down:
