Clockwise... or counter-clockwise? You be the judge!

(This two-dimensional animation gives the impression of rotation - of either direction!)

Answer 1

It's going no particular direction. I can see it going both ways. If you focus on the extended leg, and imagine it spinning the other direction as it crosses in front of (or behind) the other leg, then you have a better chance of seeing it go both ways.

Answer 2

I can see it going in both directions. The first time I watched it I got really annoyed because I could only see it going clockwise. I was trying to add up 91+26 and couldn't because I was focusing so hard on trying to make her change direction. But then I watched it again and she kept changing. I had to look away in between though and imagine her going in the other direction and then it seemed to work when I looked back.

Answer 3

It's going clockwise to me. What I want to know is how to make it counter clockwise. I keep trying, but nothing's working!!

Answer 4

do no longer difficulty. I usually inspect a picture of Mars or the Moon and comprehend that what i'm finding at are depressed craters—yet I rather have situation scuffling with them from lookin like raised pimples!

Answer 5

It goes clockwise for me, but my husband can see it both directions.

Answer 6

I say clockwise. I don't really get how it could be counter-clockwise, though...

Answer 7

I've always thought my self a creative person, but not this time! I turned out analytical!

Answer 8

I see it as both.

Answer 9

Iam pretty sure she is spinning clock -wise...


Cheers

Answer 10

Kept changing...hard to say which it was longer....
