The Bird

The Bird

This is a great trick. It works everywhere. When you read the the above box, did you say the - the or did you see the "double the". If you you did, did you catch it in this little blurb???

You can do this at the office, in school, or even at a bar. Write down a phrase and repeat words like the - at -or - and. You'll see that most people are fooled

Another brain teaser like this is 'Count the F's':

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

There's six Fs - count again!; 6:34:00 AM
