    Try this. Trust me, it won't hurt. 1) While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot of the floor, and rotate it in clockwise circles. There! That wasn't too bad was it? 2) Now, while still rotating clockwise, lift your right hand, and draw a "6" in the air. Nothing wrong so far? goood. 3) Look at your foot. Why is it going anticlockwise? Because as I said - your brain doesn't work right...and there is nothing you can do to stop it happening... :laugh:

      I could resist the change in direction for a few seconds. As it turns out I could also easily make my coworkers think there is something wrong with me. Another one you can try is (I learnt this one in primary school): 1. With an open palm rub your stomach in a circular motion. 2. Pat the top of your head with the other hand. One of your hands will follow the other and you will wind up patting your stomach or rubbing your head. Most people can get that one right with some practice though; especially if you are partially or fully ambidextrous.

          Tap out a triplet pattern with one hand. Now try and tap out a half note or sixteenth note pattern with the other hand. Once you have mastered this, now try and reverse the hands.

            var rightFoot = new Foot();
            var rightHand = new Hand();
            bool success = false;

            while (!success) {

                  Its possible to get it to rotate further, I managed to rotate mine about 90 degrees once. Takes some assistance, though. On the plus side, it gives the airport x-ray scanner people something interesting to look at :)

                  We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

                            At first I thought you had a bug, because as soon as you left the Rotate function, the foot would stop rotating and your loop would never be true. Then I realized that this function could just be setting a state field, so it will continue rotating. So, it should be true in the first iteration of the loop. Oh, that's it! A design flaw! The brain controls both. You forgot your brain! when you designed it,

                                    Maybe I'm in a brain class? For sake of brevity, I didn't go through namespaces and class declarations. Though I should have put at the end:

                                    rightHand.Rest();
                                    rightFoot.Rest();

                                    That was wearing me out all weekend! :)
