The first time I saw this 'Finished Files' thing (in a pub somewhere a few years ago), I couldn't understand the issue. Come to think of it, I still don't. When someone hands you the bit of paper, they say 'Count the Fs'. You count them s-l-o-w-l-y because you think there must be a trick involved. There isn't. Amazing.

A carefully crafted post avoiding the issue. How many did you get Ping ??

Brilliant Momo - nearly fell of my chair!

Glad that tickled your flagpole Ping. Something that would appeal to a fellow Aussie.

Don't want to be a bore regarding the 'Fs' thing, but it has nothing to do with intelligence. It has to do with attention to detail and proof reading skills. Ah, I have just brought this thread down!

Not at all - my sentiments exactly. But didn't you get a bit of a laugh over Australia's overnight foray into the Southern hemisphere? Perhaps the UK would like to move down and take its place - far better weather! (You'll all have to make a coordinated effort to do something faintly criminal, like stealing a loaf of bread. That should do the trick.)

In the days of yore, perhaps?!?

I was particularly amused by the fact that the mainland sneaked off, leaving poor wee Tasmania behind, none the wiser. New Zealand then generously offered to adopt the orphaned State. The writer of the piece is clearly a talented and imaginative soul. Hopefully his or her talents are being put to better use elsewhere!

Read this sentence:

Finished files are the result of years of scientific study combined with the experience of years.

Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE; do not go back and count them again.

How many 'f's did you count

There are six F's in the sentence. One of average intelligence finds three of them. if you spotted four, you're above average. if you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody. if you found all six, you are a genius. There is no catch. Many people forget the "OF"s. The human brain tends to see them as "Vs" instead of "F's".

Darn. I'm above average, I got four.

I missed the "of" twice.

But I played by your rules and only counted through once.

With all that sweaty activity you've been going through, I'm surprised you can still read at all !!!!!

The Asutralia moves North gambit is hilarious.

Anolther goody, Momo. Given that I am a man of leisure (retired), I typed 'None' in the red square. Added to the mirth!

A man of leisure or a man of pleasure Ping? Here's another funny link see if you can read the first page can't download it (Chinese computer) and what did you see in the bottle?

Well it was my recollection that you could set your control panel to 'surf' the forum anonymously, but I just had a look and can't find it/remember how. Seems that my recollection was wrong.

Ah, thanks Thad; awarded an elephant stamp (green ink!). I very, very rarely log off (haven't in months), so that's why I couldn't find it.

I found my 16 year old daughter doing a Jigsaw...........worried.

Why - was the completed image not all that wholesome? Seriously though (ahem) some of those jigsaws can be monsters - beyond the capability of young children. She wasn't struggling with a dozen piece set, was she?

I found my 16 year old daughter doing a Jigsaw...........worried.

A Jigsaw as in a Jigsaw Puzzle or a Jig Saw as in a Jigsaw Woodcutter?

Jigsaw puzzles are f-u-n,I did an Escher one,50 000 pieces and had it framed behind perspex.

The latter would be something to be concerned about.

Did you knock it over in five minutes, then?
