Thread: I'm interested to know...

I'm doing a spin off of another thread. http://delicategeniusblog.com/?p=552
I want to know, which direction did you first see her spin? Was it clockwise or counter clockwise? And could you change her spinning?

I'll post mine after a few posts their results. I don't want to influence the results one way or the other.

Usually it's counter-clockwise. Today, it's clockwise. I can change it easily, because I know the trick behind the figure.

I see her spin clockwise. And no, I can't change what direction she spins.

Edit: I can make her change direction now.

she started out counter clock wise but as soon as she got half way turned around i could see it both ways

Clockwise.

And after insane amounts of trying everything I could possibly do, combined with practice, I found a way.

I covered her upper body with one hand (everything over hips),
covered anything below the knees with the other hand.

Then I started by trying to ignore the going around, and just make it look 2d. I finally made it look like the leg was just swinging back and forth, then I could just choose with way around it should be going.

Then I tried to slowly reveal more of the body.... I got clockwise whooped again.

Oh sh-! Just now, I was able to view the full body rotating counter clockwise.
Go me!

Clockwise.

I was able to turn her direction after focusing on it for a couple of seconds.

clockwise when I see her first. with a little effort (yet) spin changes.

So far I've made her change....7 - 9 times. I don't know any rick to make her change; I just look at her and kind of focus. I was even looking away a couple of times and she changed! I LOVE this test. I've done this before, but I can't really tell you which way I saw her first. Sometimes it one way, sometimes it's another.

I first saw her turn clockwise, and I couldn't change it.
Then I started reading what's underneath and suddenly she was turning counter-clockwise.
Now she seems to change randomly.

I finally can change the direction (dancedir==R;showdance(R))

I believe in this left-right brain thingy (art on one, logic on the other), but I don't think that the direction of the spinning woman can tell you which brain your oriented. I mean considering they didn't say how it made sense (no scientific evidence provided !!)

I saw it spinning clockwise mostly, but it changed pretty often... here's my self eval:
