      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

      xacc.ide
      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 found that contentrating on the movement of shadows and thinking of them going one way or the other changed the direction of the girl.

          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 ?

            When I first saw her she was spinning counter-clockwise, but after slighty shifting my focus, or maybe my mind, she was going the other way. This is pretty cool!

                  I can't. She is clearly going counterclockwise.

                          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.

                            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...

                                      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.
