Clockwise or counterclockwise? So which are you?
-
this is wonderful, just now, as i was seeing this, two of my colleagues came here. i asked them wheather C wise or CC wise, one said, CWise and the other said other wise. i didnt reveal that, this is an illusion, and both of them are right, soon they started to land in an argument that the other is wrong. funny right?

We had the same reaction in our office. Some people were convinced it could only be seen one way.

This worked for me: Take a look at her feet....and then visualize whatever direction you would like her to go.... Plain old genius....hmm....the heck...if it says so, then so be it :laugh:

I can only see clockwise which is interesting as I consider my self left brain dominant. At first I said the conclusion is wrong because I am very logical but I some people have called me a thinker and a feeler at the same time so I guess this could be possible...

Clockwise for me. And is it just me or is she naked?

This has got me beat. If you imagine looking down on her head, then it's clockwise. If you're more inclined to rotate the girl so you're looking at her feet, it would be counter clockwise. I don't see any sort of illusion or possibility of a different conclusion ?

It's the same principle as the faces in the Disney haunted house ride that look like they're always facing you (when actually they're inside out) Since it's a silhouette, you can't tell if her foot is sticking out of the screen, or into it (when really it's neither, since its 2d)

I have the same thing only with me it's clockwise. I just can't see it any other way. I've looked at her feet and her shadow and everything else and I still cant see it.
Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis. I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
I think we are getting fooled....Its moving both the ways every few mins......

For those who can only see one direction try focusing on the outstretched leg, when its all the way to the right you can imagine that its in the front or the back of the view, when it rotates to the left it will be the opposite - if it was at the front it will now be at the back. Now say front, back, front, back as the leg moves from the left position to the right (if you work in an office this is usually better done in your head to avoid attracting unwanted attention) The figure will definitely appear to be rotating one way - if you then reverse the points at which you say front, back and now effectively say back, front then the figure will reverse direction - it worked for me anyway!

Odd, because I see the figure spinning clockwise, yet I am very left-brained.

Maybe you just think you are but in reality you are creative and a "big picture" kinda guy? Here in the office all the "designer" types (myself included) saw her going clockwise while all the "coder" back-end guys saw her going anti-clockwise. A couple could see her going both ways but they were probably drinking at work, again.

Okay, i got completely confused for a moment there, when i first looked, it seemed to be counter-clockwise, i read some text, looked back and shwam, clockwise. A few moments later i figured it out. Pretty cool. So, what does that make me anyway? Equal on both sides? Reading some of the text engaged the other side of my brain?

Pains my eye. It's clockwise sometimes, counterclockwise sometimes, & at times she's simple swaying her legs (scroll down the page enough that only her legs are visible,then'll see it) ;)

Kinda cool :) Here's a trick if you wanna see her move both ways: a) look away b) imagine/visualize a clockwise/counterclockwise rotation c) look back, just a you imagined! Must be magic ;P

The rule of three: "The first time you notice something that might repeat, don't generalize it. The second time the situation occurs, develop in a similar fashion -- possibly even copy/paste -- but don't generalize yet. On the third time, look to generalize the approach."I can't seem to see counterclockwise no matter what i do. I'm starting to suspect it's a trick... when's the monster jump out? :rolleyes:

No trick. If you are familiar with body dynamics, then your brain will not let you see her go counter-clockwise. She is most definitely leaning in the clockwise direction. To go counter-clockwise goes against body movement. If you don't believe me, try to find one of your friends who is a good dancer, then ask them which direction she is going. A dancer is supposedly 'left brain' but they will see her going clockwise every time.
