I see clockwise, but I know I'm more 'left-brain' oriented.

Yeah I'm definitely 'left-brained' but saw it going clockwise. I don't know why I bothered to post.

[jjshabado]

Its pretty cool though. I can get it to switch by focusing on the shadow at the bottom then slowing looking up.

Edit: This is awesome. Once I see it going counter-clockwise I have to switch tabs, then when I come back its clockwise. But the second I look at the grey shadow directly it switches to counter-clockwise.

I'm WAY more left brained, but this [censored] is spinning clockwise.

I still can't figure out how she spins the other way.

yeah, what pisses me off if that the very first time the bitch was spinning counterclockwise, i hit refresh, and its been clockwise ever since

I really think my personality is a mix of both 'sides'.

I'm left-handed and very left-dominated in other things such as kicking, eye-sight and even hearing. So I suppose that I'm more right-brain oriented.

I can only see that thing spinning clockwise and do not believe I can make it look counter clockwise but I might keep trying for a bit longer.


I think it's weird that the article presupposes that most people will see it spinning counter-clockwise and that I don't think anyone here has that as their first impression.

I saw counter at first, then looked away (probably at the text on the left) then she was clockwise.

edit: I believe it's only possible ccw because of the shadow on the foot. If it was going cw the foot wouldn't disappear when it does. I can see it both ways, but ccw is correct.

Odd. I guess I'm one of the majority they are talking about (minority here so far). I see counter-clockwise and no matter how hard I stare I can't get her to go clockwise.

Edit: Forget it - I can see her turning both ways now - pretty easy to control once you get the hang of it.

dammit dammit dammit.

I can NOT get it to counter-clockwise.
I stare at corners, let my focus go hazy, try looking away, and even try covering my left eye on the assumption that my right eye is more closely associated with my left-brain.

nothing nothing nothing.

Guess I'm REALLY right-brained or something.

I've seen this on like 5 separate occasions now and it tilts the hell out of me that I can't see it spinning counter clockwise. At this point I'm assuming it's a giant conspiracy against me a la Truman Show.

stare at the left side of the animation at the point where her hand passes by and imagine she starts out her ccw spin at this point, and don't pay attention to the rest of the animation.
