I count 1. This may be the old school knowledge of html in me but you have written "SPACE F" which translates in html to: " F"
The only place I see " F", i.e. "SPACE F"/" F" (underline=space) is on the first line after the "D", i.e.: FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS... |

The point of the text is that when most people read this text they only count 3 F's and they miss out the "ofs", also if you count all 6 F's you are supposed to be a genius.
I only counted 3

Yes I only counted three separate Fs as well but I saw each letter E as being made of two Fs one being upside down and rotated.

At first I counted 6 but then i noticed that you had put a space " F" in your OP so I thought that had somethign to do with it lol. now reading the answers I can see that the correct answer was 6

Haha - tx. I'm either a genius or a "5 under par" retard, lol. Actually, to be cheeky, in terms of a "correct" answer, I guess it depends on what one is "reading" and a clear statement of the assumptions necessary for the answer to be deemed "correct". Are you reading what's obvious (words) or more subtle - in this case binary code. For instance, "F", " F" and "OF" are all different numerically/mathematically i.e binary code. Specifically in terms of the binary code: "F" - is 01000110 " F" -is 00100000 01000110 "OF" -is 01001111 01000110 so "OF" and " F" and "F" all mean something different. Actually, there's one more variation I've just noticed as well.... The question says: Count every: " F" and in binary code ' " F" ' [i.e. (quote)+(space)+(F)+(quote)] is: 00100010 00100000 01000110 00100010 So I guess it's all open to interpretation, huh?  fun binary code encoder --> www. theproblemsite. com/codes/binary.asp quick edit/update: In this last answer, I assumed that a space, was used to denote unique ideas/variables, so the command was to count everything that appeared after the phrase "count every". This is a reasonable assumption as we don't normally write something like Iwanttogotothestore. We separate unique ideas/variables like: I want to go to the store. So everything that appeared after "count every" was counted -", SPACE, F, " In my first answer, I assumed that the variable(s) in question were defined by everything inside of the quotes i.e. "SPACE F"/" F" I'm getting the feeling I'm spending far to much time around certain kinds of forums and tech related individuals, lol |

You might be spending a bit to much time with that tech stuff, but at least it seems your not half bad at it.

lol i originally thought 1 because you had a space before F, but then figured it was a typo
and if yoou count all 6, u arent a genius. i got them all, and im not a genius |
