How many 5’s?
I first dimmed the brightness on my computer screen. No, really. I knew this was going to involve some intense concentration, and I didn’t want to get a headache on top of it. This was a smart move because no sooner than later was my face a literal two inches away from the screen, my eyes in total scan mode.
After I lowered my brightness, I then decided I was going to take a quick look at the letters on the screen quickly. I don’t know if it is just me, but when I glance at certain blocks of text sometimes typos or unique words will pop out. Does this happen with anyone else, or am I just programmed differently? Anyway, my little trick worked and I counted at least one B. Yes, that’s a start!
I then had to bring in backup – a piece of paper. I took the piece of paper and covered the block of letters. I then moved the paper over, revealing row by row, keeping an eye out for those surprise Bs. I first did this across, and then up and down, making sure to double check that the number of Bs I found each time matched.
