Finally I can switch her back and forth at will. I use her hands.

jester · 10-15-2007, 04:05 PM

Just from watching - I actually counted her rotations, she did about 20 going clockwise and then it changed and she started going counter-clockwise.

that means you have OCD

Aliantha · 10-15-2007, 05:09 PM

i see her as spinning counter clockwise.

I can't make her spin the other way no matter what tricks I try.

toranokaze · 10-15-2007, 10:17 PM

I don't get it.
When I see the lady she is spinning clockwise, but her shadow is spinning counter clockwise.

I can't seem to switch them

Spexxvet · 10-16-2007, 08:31 AM

Clockwise, although when I looked down to read the text it went the other way. Kinda made me sea-sick. If you look at the shadow of her foot, you can see it move right to left in front of her, so she must be spinning clockwise.

Absolutely! That is, until she starts spinning counter clockwise, and the foot is moving right to left behind her.

I initially saw her spinning clockwise and I couldn't imagine how anyone could see different. I was actually in the process of working it out - let's see if she were spinning counter, her hand would have to be going behind her back right now... Oh look.

Now I can make it go either way. But my mind likes her spinning clockwise.

damn you.. i saw it going clockwise so i blinked repetitively to see it like a strobe light and it went counter.... but now i can't get it to go back to clockwise...

grrrargh!

RellikLaerec · 10-22-2007, 12:15 AM

lol Just block the top out and focus on the shadow of her foot and you can get it to go the other way.
Well since no one else wants to put another one up....

York · 10-22-2007, 12:58 PM

Cool one too!
Bout the girl; Over here in Belgium i see her go both ways!
(and maybe up and down too sometimes!

)
I start seeing her counter-clock and when ive read something and look again she goes clockwise.... So? Im in a great balance here ! :p

R2D3 · 10-22-2007, 01:04 PM

that chick is hot. I'd do her no matter what way she spinz.

HungLikeJesus · 10-31-2007, 05:51 PM

I just saw this at newscientist.com.

Here's the explanation:
If you follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, it remains pink. However if you stare at the black cross, the moving dot appears green. If you concentrate on the black cross for a while, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, leaving only a rotating green dot.

There is no green dot, and the pink dots don't disappear. How does this work?

(If the dot is not moving, try hitting the refresh button, or go to this site.)

glatt · 11-01-2007, 11:36 AM

That's a good one. I had to do PRINT SCREEN to confirm there is no green.
