Yep, like most of you initially I saw her as clockwise but if I look with my peripheral vision she goes counter clockwise and if I close one eye or squint I can change her direction at will, even stop her mid spin but it gave me a headache  :-\  Thanks Kerry that was fascinating  :D  Your not alone though I got Bob to look at her and he only sees her spinning clockwise and can't change her no matter how hard he tries...  ;)

OMG Dottie!!! It worked!!! Yee-Haw!!! :D

I tried looking just outside the frame, to the right of the graphic, and concentrated on it peripherally. My hopes weren't high. I honestly didn't think it would work. But it did! Suddenly, it started to move anti-clockwise! And then it went back to clockwise again!  :o

So I guess I'd better change my response to "Both" now, hunh?! I'm thrilled!  :D

P.S., I love your fairy lights too, Dottie!  :D

Kerry that's GREAT!  ;D  It bothered my husband so much that he studied it at length on Sunday and he discovered...the shadow of the left foot would seem to indicate that they are facing away from you therefore turning anti clockwise , but the thumb and shoulder on the left would suggest she is facing you and therefore turning clockwise so by focusing on those area's seperately he could control which way she turned.  My logical man, takes every problem and works it until he figures it out for himself  ;)

Wow!  Totally weird.  The only way I can see this figure is moving counter-clockwise.  I can't even make her go clockwise if I really concentrate at it.  But, there's no way I consider myself entirely a left brain person.  I work in the arts for pete's sake!

Maybe you're a latent mathematician or scientist, Amanda, haha! Was "The Yarts" (as we call it in Oz) your first career choice?  ;)  :D

Oh, yes, the arts most definitely were my first career choice.  I was an art history major beginning my first year in college and then I spent 7 years in grad school for a Ph.D. in art history.  I'm most definitely not a math person... I even have trouble doing relatively simple math in my head.  And, in college I took the bare minimum for the science requirements.

But, still... I can only see the figure moving counter-clockwise.  Interesting indeed.

It's exactly the opposite for me. I see myself far more as a left brain person (according to the given information), but yet see the girl turn clockwise.

Maybe they mixed it up?

That is quite possible. I got it, verbatim cut-n-paste, from Sydney's Daily Telegraph website. Quality journalism, it ain't!   :-\

The Daily Telegraph is known locally as The Daily Terror. It's a bit of a rag!  :(

Having said that, however, I am a classic right brain person and it got it right with me!  :D

Wow, this is amazing! I could only see it going clockwise for a good while and then BAM! It changed direction! And then I saw going from anti clockwise to clockwise and back and thro every 10 seconds or so!

So what does it make a person who answered "both? A GENIUS ??  :laugh: (I wish!)

I can only see the figure going clockwise. No matter what I do I can't see her going counter clockwise.  This means I have a right brain, but looking at the descriptions I am definitely a left brain person... ???

Wow....everyone seems to see her dancing clockwise.

I see her counter clockwise.
