When I stopped doing math, she snapped back to clockwise. So maybe there is something to it?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175905906542647655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661356795743869465.post-1901730151778355392008-05-27T19:58:00.000-05:002008-05-27T19:58:00.000-05:00It's sort of like one of those 3-D things they use...It's sort of like one of those 3-D things they used to put in the funny papers. If you blurred your eyes the image would appear. At first I saw the 2 directions right away, then only clockwise for a long time. I looked at the hint, looked back, then finally at will made her dance both directions fairly easily.

It took me quite awhile to get her to spin the other way again. I can do it, but it's not easy or fast.Kathleen Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096607261757810034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661356795743869465.post-26524907437132024602008-05-25T14:02:00.000-05:002008-05-25T14:02:00.000-05:00I shared the spinning girl with members of a list ...I shared the spinning girl with members of a list I'm on, and several of them came to an interesting conclusion. If you start by looking at her head, she spins one way, if you start by looking at her feet, she spins the other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661356795743869465.post-67367054163852960922008-05-25T11:20:00.000-05:002008-05-25T11:20:00.000-05:00I had the same experience - I wonder whether we're...I had the same experience - I wonder whether we're always switching back and forth between the sides of our brain?Mary Keenanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260934319762115179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661356795743869465.post-55730079598918813002008-05-25T10:13:00.000-05:002008-05-25T10:13:00.000-05:00At first she was spinning counter-clockwise but as...At first she was spinning counter-clockwise but as I looked down at her feet she started spinning clockwise, then I saw her flip back to counter then back to clockwise.Tante Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022091283910596943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661356795743869465.post-63042669789873283082008-05-24T23:52:00.000-05:002008-05-24T23:52:00.000-05:00Where do you find this stuff?
