I have to say (for the sake of science) that she was dancing clockwise first time I watched--and then I made (my brain watch) her go the other way.

Family test: We all saw her dancing clockwise to start with.

Yep, and havent answered yet because I still can't make her spin the other way.

Look at the text, not the picture (that's my suggestion.)

It's like those 3D pictures...until I could see them I thought there was some big conspiracy where everyone was saying they saw something that wasn't there.

Aha, put my hand over most of the picture till I could only see the foot and the shadow, and suddenly POP, took my hand away and for a couple of seconds it turned the other way, til I thought "Wow it does actually work" then I "saw the whole thing and pop it was gone.

Re: Thursday Open Thread (none / 1)

I've looked at it about 4 separate times now. 3 times I immediately saw clockwise, the 4th I saw anti-clockwise first. Mostly I can refocus and swap directions but it was harder to do when I got very tired. Good to see everyone has been well entertained in my absence!
