You should have worded this 'Why can't I' because I can.

Hi,
Some people can,
Some people Can't
It's down to how well your brain can controll your body....
Were you taught a musical instument as a primary school child?
did you play with those put the shape in the correct hole toys ?
The playing recorder was intoduced into working class primary schools to help kids destined for factory work learn coordination skills.
there are a few dexterity tests used in employmet selection, most of these have results which do not match a 'normal distribution' , they tend to have U shaped results graphs as most people are either cordinated or not.
the hands feet rotation thing was used to quickliy spot potential pilots in the second world war.

Yes that's really weird, but here's another one for you too, sit down, lift your right foot off the floor and rotate it clockwise while doing so write the figure 6 in the air, yes, your foot going in the opposite direction now isn't it, pretty good hey, good party tricks to impress you pals with.

Your brain/mind is controlling your movement and cannot rotate two different moving parts in oppsite directions unless you have dyspraxia or any other brian/mind disfunction which controls the brain/mind.

I tried and i can do it, its pretty easy if you've got good co-ordination. Just like patting your head and rubbing your tummy.
