The key is to focus on the shadow and when it disappears, imagine it coming back around in the direction you want.

This is the trick, yes. But I suspect it works because we project our clock-wisedness on it, and then the object above becomes counterclockwise.

do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

This wording is ambiguous. I'm assuming everybody takes this to mean "when viewed from above"?

I see counter-clockwise so strongly that I can't imagine how it's even theoretically possible to see it the other way. Coincidentally, I'm pretty much 100% left-brain according to their criteria.

I see her standing on her left leg and spinning clockwise -- meaning that if she held her right leg out and I viewed her from the top of her head, the right leg would be moving clockwise.

Weeeeee ok. If I stare at something away from it, for instance the ad underneath it, I can see the counter-clockwise. As soon as I look at the picture, though, she's back to clockwise.

Interesting. Would you say that the list of "right brain functions" on the page describes you better than the other?

Also, was it necessary to give her nipples? She'd be hypnotic enough without them.

I'm stuck on anticlockwise, looking at the feet/shadow doesnt work for me. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
