Twelfth Answer
My brain hurts
The answer is 6
Amazing, isn't it? Most people count three of
them, so much for perception, but it does not say
anything about your IQ. Whoever counts the six
'F' the first time is a genius, five is rather
rare, four is rather frequent, three is normal.
Less than three, and you must change glasses
-) For some obscure reason, we (or our brain)
does not count the "f" in "of", maybe because the
phonetic is similar to "ov", or because during
(quick) reading the brain focus on "lexical"
words, and not so much on "grammatical" words.

  wall-mounted spotlights - right, left and front
  of stage. Each is controlled by its own on-off
  switch.

These three switches are numbered 1, 2 and 3,
but they are in a back-room which has no sight of
the the spotlights or the conference room (and
there are no reflections or shadows or mirrors,
and you are alone).

According to Andersen Consulting Worldwide,
around 90 of the professionals they tested got
all questions wrong.
But many preschoolers and students got several
correct answers, how many did you get right?.
Anderson Consulting says this conclusively
disproves the theory that most professionals have
the brains of a four year old.
