Friday puzzle2 -- So You Think You can Count
In case my other one proves too intractable to be fun, here is what should be a very easy one that I found quite difficult.
Count the number of occurrences of the letter "f" as you read the passage below the line of asterisks.
There are no tricks in this one. Honor system here. No pencil and paper or highlighting the letter. Just read the passage trying to count them, and report your result. If you want to check it, you can print out the post and circle the f's, write down the count by line, or do a "find" on the letter, or something else, but where's the fun in that?

We have the opportunity of looking at farming and the
future of farmers. How do we handle the training of farm hands?
Too, how to encourage the use of farm fundamentals? How do we
find right ways of improving future farm animals? How can we find
mechanisms that allow low-cost transfer of the farm from one farm
family to another farm family? This is the basis of effective farm
management and the future of financially sound farms.
