She started out clockwise then suddenly changed her mind(son’t they all?)

It started out clockwise but I found if I looked at her feet this slowly drifted upwards she started going anti.

Does that mean I am ambibrainstrous?

well first it went anti clockwise and then it went clockwise, what does that mean? Has one half of my brain stopped working and been taken over by the other?

Definitely going anti-clockwise. And I am left-handed. Interesting.

BOTH!!!

It is not an optical illusion, depends on when you click.

That’s my final answer!

Indeed, it is an optical illusion. I think it focuses on where her legs cross over and the little “leap” in the dance. I sent this to a friend, as this is the first I’ve seen of it, and they had trouble seeing it any other way other than clockwise as well at first.

Uh… it’s a Gestalt thing…. like noticing the distracting backlit serifs rather than the rest of the font when trying to read the new-look Anorak site.

P L E E Z E change back to sanserif for body-text.

TEST: someone tell me this is more readable in Times than in Arial.

( Scientific tests show this would mean you have a very strange brain. And remember that web designers, however unqualified, don’t actually want to READ the texts they’re formatting.)

I can see her anti-clockwise and clockwise according to what I want to see.

It is some kind of optical illusion (I haven’t been able to pin it down to the exact bit though, and I refuse to stare at this all day!) . You can see both ways though, sans acid.

It’s nonsense - I know. She spins clockwise only. Sure of it

It’s not a scam..just focus looking at her foot closest to the ground only

Forgot to mention, concerted effort to see it anti made me feel nauseous. For all you scientific folks out there!

It’s different now. Is this a trick???

By: Stickler

She certainly goes clockwise. It seems to me obvious from the bob of hair at the back of her head that she is spinning clockwise. The was being emailed around two or so weeks ago. I assumed then it was a joke.

Anti Clock-wise. I can’t even see it clockwise.

Now I see both ways. Bizarre. Then again I am an ambidextrous acid casualty from the 80’s

Anti clockwise witout doubt!
