When I first see it I see it as clockwise, but in a second I can change it to counter-clockwise.
When I look away for about 30 seconds to a minute and look back, I see counter-clockwise still. Interesting
And then sometimes I can see it go clockwise, then turn back counter-clockwise, and then go clockwise again...

clockwise at first, read the text to the left changes to anti-clock, look at her ankle makes it go back to clockwise....

interesting how many coders are left brained - I would have thought that there'd be more right-brainers among us

though what does it say about you if you can get her to do both without concentrating?

> interesting how many coders are left brained

Yeah, only 4. And it's weird because all the right-brainers are meant to be
more "feeling" and "intuitive" rather than "logical" and "mathematical" like
the left-brainers.

Yeah, it seems completely backward, I would consider myself to be logical etc, does anyone else think that the description has been messed up?

You logical?
[/discrimination]

^o^

Well, I think I am but if I'm not then it wouldn't be logical to think I am so logically thinking I must be, unless I'm not logical and just emotional in which case I'm just letting my feelings get in the way which is a very illogical thing to do and therefore logically thinking I must be emotional.

Now I'm totally confused.

Clockwise:
79% [ 19 ]

Counterclockwise:
20% [ 5 ]

79% + 20% = 99% -> one percent got lost (no brain functinality?)

Good point. Should be 20,8% so the rounding doesn't work... I'd say it's safe to assume the forum is right-brained as well...

19 + 5 = 24
100 / 24 = 4.1_6

4.1_6 * 19 = 79.1_6 ~ 79
4.1_6 * 5 = 20.8_3 ~ 21

=> PHPBB does not round but just integer.

[edit]
pwned... traumatic was faster

For me, I first saw it counter-clockwise/anti-clockwise, then I saw it go clockwise after reading the accompanying article.

...just a thought, anybody tried decompiling the gif animation? maybe they actually have it going both ways ....messing with anyone who comes across it.

Clockwise definately.

Anti-clockwise - very hard to change to. Only a few times.

But it should explain that I'm a musician and that I suck at math.

i saw it counter-clockwise first and it took me long to manage to see it
moving in reverse. and when i got it, i couldn't switch back. that was some
days ago. now i saw her turning clockwise first.
@RTEK
what do you mean by decompiling? you can extract the frames with an
imageviewer/-manipulation. i did it and you can still see it both ways [typo]

all I meant is run the gif thru a something like gifsplitter to see the individual frames (I don't have it here and can't install it - work policy)

It seems that my brain will capture the first frame of the image, make a quick decision on what the animation is doing, and then stores that information (memory) so whenever I look at it I see with the same direction.

If I hide the whole image except the the woman's shadow I can reorient my brain and and then change direction.

It's a nice trick but can someone confirm if this left/right brain test is valid?
