Which way do you see this girl spinning? Most people see her spinning clockwise. If you look at it the right way, you can also see her spinning counter-clockwise.

Some people have trouble and need to look at it for a couple of minutes. Others have to look away for a moment to "reset" their brain before they can switch directions.

For me the trick was to watch the legs and foot where it crosses the other, and mentally force myself to realize it could be going the other direction...then I see her spinning counter-clockwise until I force myself to change perspective again. Looking at her feet and shadow helps too.

:S I don't see it. When I first saw the picture and you said what way is see spinning I automatically thought anti-clockwise.

It doesn't look clockwise at all. :s

Look at in the corner of your eye, it goes the other way instantly. Or look at the shadow, the only thing is, once it goes the other way, it wont go back. lol.

I have a sneaky suspicion that it does spin both ways but changes in time....I'm not 100% sure, but after about 2-3 minutes I did relise she was spinning counter clock wise. About the changing direction thing, I could easily check in photoshop.

well after looking at it in photoshop....I really have to say it may be that she flips her direction at some point, because looking at several areas and frames...the leg thats in the air is different sometimes, sometimes right and sometimes left. I dunno, but it looks very very odd, watching it now for several minutes it's like she switches back and forth.

EDIT: looking even even further frame by frame, I figured it out, she DOESNT spin at all! She does a 180 turn from left to right, then stops 1 frame and rewinds herself, she only travels 180 degrees and NEVER makes a 360 degree spin at all, that is why you sometimes feel she is not really spinning counter clockwise but clockwise, you trick your brain into continuing that she is in one direction, but really frame by frame shows the proof.

Heh no, the animation does not switch by itself. With a little practice you can change your perspective at will and see her spinning one direction and then the next whenever you want, although it does seem to be more difficult to switch "back" once you see the new direction Smile

I see her spinning clockwise only. No matter how i move my eyes or mind she doesn't change direction.

Maybe it's because my subconscious and conscience are connected more than other peoples (i can see an focus on more than one thing at once)... Or due to my autism. It's boring looking at a silhouette spinning round and round and round and round and round *fades* and round and round and round.

I can only see her going clockwise. Sure maybe if you look at only her foot but I'm afraid my eyes lack zoom capability. I can see her ponytail and breasts and tell which direction they are spinning in and thus her whole body is spinning the same way. Clockwise.

If you look at her foot, she goes clockwise, if you look at the shadow of her foot, then her, she goes anti clockwise.

That's the way I see it anyway.

Wtf is Jabber? Rofl.

For the first minute she was going clock wise, Then when I look away, And turn back, She's going counter-clock wise.. weird..

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

Well sorry to say, but the frames show that she goes left, half way, then turns right half way, then it repeats itself, look in the frames if you want to see for yourself, I looked at it for 5-10 minutes straight playing it through then looking at each frame (about 30 frames in this picture)

The reason you guys think she does a 360 degree turn is because she switches direction at a point where it is hard to see really what direction she is going.

I can only see counter clockwise, I can convince myself she is going the other way, but only for one half turn... then she switches back.

Edit: if I reduce the size of the image, It becomes much easier to see her going clockwise. o.O

Yea...
I cant see her going clockwise.
Only the one way, not matter how much I try, blazer ruined it by saying you can see her both ways, now my eyes and mind expect it, and dont let them trail off the image.

I thought i'd be a real clever arse and post an image of it played backwards saying "I can see it just fine...". But even with the animation playing backwards I see the bitch going clockwise.

I literally went frame by frame for six frames going foward, thinking OK, she is deffinately going clockwise. The I went through those same six frames backwards, and the bitch was still going clockwise.

What the hell is happenening to my brain?
