If you get the answer 3, count again.

There are 6
Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the
first go is a genius
I managed to get 5 on the 1st try.
Three is normal, four is quite rare
 
i could see people missing the f in scientific, but getting only 3 is common? i mean, come on! :p
 
I read it four times and counted 5 "f"'s. It took the sixth try to find the last one.

most people forget to count the "f"'s in "of".
 
I'm glad my life didn't depend on it. :)

I only saw 3 the first time and then 6 after looking more carefully. It just shows how much we skim, some information isn't necessary to process to understand the meaning. If you watch a movie or read a book twice you often get more out of it.

4 the first took a few more times to find six - nice exercise though - detail is always key
Only 4? Obviously the eye of the dragon isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
