Wow, I FINALLY saw it as counter clockwise!

For those of you clockwise folk who are stuck seeing her spin that way eternally, try to focus just on the shadow of her foot. Try to imagine it going counter clockwise. After you get it so the shadow is moving counter clockwise, move to her foot that is on the ground and try to get it to go counter clockwise. Once that is done if you blur your vision and focus on her lower body movements you should see her move counterclockwise for a bit!

It was taxing on my eyes, though.

First I saw it clockwise.
But when I read the notes, I could do it also counter-clockwise.

Okay, after like an hour I managed to get her to spin counter-clockwise for about two seconds and then straight back to clockwise. This is getting intriguing...

It is actually easier than that, to make it change direction.

If its turning clockwise, start making math in your head. 2 + 2 is 4 then multiplications, while blinking.

it will turn.

when going anticlockwise, just start imagining in your head some beautiful, or a feeling, remember something pretty or sad, or happy, while blinking.

Okay, now I'm tripping out. I'm now officially one of those dudes whom it randomly switches for. Wow, this is utterly strange!

I put a side by side gif and while both image start syncing together in terms of which direction they turn to. But every few sec they are not in sync one is counter clockwise and the other is clockwise but it only last for like 5 seconds than they start syncing back to the dominant position. At least for me.

When I first opened the thread she was spinning clockwise. I read the information then hit refresh on my browser and she was spinning counter-clockwise. It's a TRAP!

She is not only spinning she is also bouncing up and down. Look at her heel. Plain stupid picture. Is the toe of her extended leg going in an elips or just in a line is what I would like to know. Will have to look at individual frames for that. I doubt this says anything about being right ot leftbrained.

I saw the nunny first and the duck a split second later.

It's fucking me up =p

Basically I see it go clockwise to the middle and then it resets and goes counter-clockwise back to the middle. It then just repeats this oscillating patern.

Yarrrggggh, my brain hurts. I don't see it do a full rotation in ANY direction.

edit: I remember when I was a kid I used to see those movie poster marquee flashing lights and concentrate on making the direction the lights appeared to move change. Maybe that's why I can't really see full rotation in either direction =[

the gif is rigged, if you let it play for 1 hour she'll start to do backflips-- dont read too much into this

I can only turn the direction by blinking really fast and not focusing to determine where shes going, then every few spins she goes the other way. but its mostly counter clock-wise if i look at it normally or focused

Im still not convinced it isnt a hoax. I stared at it and it changed direction on me like every 20 seconds or so, without me changing focus or doing anything at all. I just keep staring and it goes back and forth. Not just changing direction once, but again and again.
