  ISP,

  I missed the three occurrences of "F" in the word "of". I wonder why.

  Kind of like this one:
  PARIS
  IN THE
  THE SPRING.

  It's easy to mistake the above for "Paris in the Spring", and not "Paris in the the spring".

  Or this one: "He walked though the door".

  Our minds fill in the "R", and so we read it as "He walked through the door".

  Shauna, no fair. Being blonde actually SLOWED YOU DOWN enough so that you could see all 6 F's. [>:(]

  Farkel, the obvious answer to your query is that there are 500 such even numbers 2, 4, 6, etc. up to 1000. But what's the real answer?
