Title: Interesting animated GIF
Post by: Locutus on January 11, 2010, 01:37:47 PM
We may have discussed this before, but I ran across this again and figured I'd post it just in case I'm wrong about us discussing this before.  Which way is the ballerina spinning?  Clockwise, or counterclockwise?

I don't see it. To me she is spinning clockwise. Plus her head is tilted to her right, which to me indicates that she is "leaning" into the spin.

:confused:

It's supposed to spin counterclockwise when you're using one side of your brain, and clockwise when the other side of your brain is being used.  That's why it appears to sometimes spin one way, and at other times, the other way.

Then I guess half my brain is dead. And I'm sure Hank and 'me' would agree with that.  :biggrin:

I doubt that.  I just don't think you're staring at her for long enough and giving her time to work her magic.  ;D

She goes both ways. Olias, don't try so hard. Watch her for awhile, then glance away. She will have started going the other way when you look back. When she goes counter-clockwise her head leans left.

BTW .... isn't she a little ... um ... "well endowed" for a ballerina?

Maybe that's why I can't focus on something as silly as the direction of spin.
