Re: How Many F's in this Sentence ......

A `brain game` that amused first term undergrads was to show them(very quickly-I forget what the machine was called) the name of a colour but written in another colour.

It really messes up the brain

Yes Old git, they are really clever to outwit our brain! You either have to name the colour i.e. The word 'Yellow' even though it is written in Blue. Or name the word, ignoring the actual colour.

Sounds confusing .... it is!!!

That's actually one of the few brains games I am good at!

The one I find hard is where they show you a shape made up of different coloured circles, count to 3, then it goes blank, then after 3 seconds show you 4 variations and you have to pick the original out! I can get to just over a 1,000 points but do find it gruelling!

Re: How Many F's in this Sentence ......

Never imagine all the games we played were innocent. Using the same machine we would find the time that the subject could read a message with say 60% accuracy. That got them involved

Then at the end tweak the timer up a bit so it was 95% certain and flash a rude message.

We only did that with people we knew though. And believe me it was my good friend Jan(female) who thought up the rudest messages
