I just dont get this....

[Goodsoulette]

How could anyone see the dancer spinning anti-clockwise? She is plainly spinning in a clockwise direction. I have tried making it change direction but to know avail.

Soooo, are you left or right brained?

[Louisa 69]

When i first viewed it she was turning clockwise, but after glancing at the bold heading, she was turning anti-clockwise. Strange.....what does that mean...i'm both ??

[kempie]

Both.

With her left leg extended she rotates anti-clockwise; right leg clockwise.

I can see her going both ways, it was anti-clockwise when the link loaded, then i read the text to the left, then looked again and she was going clockwise, so i closed my eyes for 5 seconds and when i opened them she was going anti-clockwise, did that again and she was going clockwise, but i had to cliose them a couple of times before it changed, does this mean i can control the sides of my brain by willing her to change the spin?

[daffy654]

She is definitely going anti clockwise to me.

Anti clockwise.x

ooooh i did this on facebook today Goodsoulette, i only saw her spin clock wise ! its all to do with how your own brain works, i think! Mines still warming up! :-)

[cazzz1975]

snap dot, I saw it anti clockwise first then I looked at the text, looked back and it was going clockwise

[bobtheturkey]

dunno im worried sick about it now

[Bewlay Bros]

Both. I didn't have to concentrate, she just seemed to change direction on her own volition.

[dot.hawkes]

tried it again, i can change the way she spins by closing my eyes and concentrating on the spin changing, took 4 goes but she changed direction.

[Goodsoulette]

Missunruly, that's where I saw it too, but I didnt understand it at all, so I googled it. I just dont understand how she can be turning anti-clockwise as well. It's actually hurting my head trying to see it turning the other way.

[bobtheturkey]

can someone keep me informed if this mystery is solved i see a lost nights sleep ahead

[Goodsoulette]

awww....Bob's taking the mickey out of me now : (

[bobtheturkey]

no gs im not i have no brain thats all

[jno]

clockwise, though I can force myself to see it as anticlockwise. But impetuous, risk taking, imagination rules, me??? I think not.

[bigmamma]

I see her rotating clockwise :-) x

[jno]

of course that story links to an Australian newspaper so I expect the reverse is true in Britain, like the water going down the plughole the other way.

[unrulyjulie]

well goody, this afternoon i only saw her clockwise!!!

I just clicked on your link and after a min i saw her going anti! My brain is too fragile for all this nonsense, it just confuses me more than is necessary!

[bobtheturkey]

im sure that dancer was in the credits for tales of the unexpected

[Goodsoulette]

So it is an optical illusion then? It's not going to work, if I stand in the middle of my friends doing pirouettes asking them watch direction I am going in
