The quiz is, which way do you see the dancer spinning? I think that it's fake... Anyone else agree?

I do... I bet I could definitively and logically prove that the dancer is spinning clockwise.

Not fake.. if you look at the foot shadow and try to make it change direction, the dancer will eventually spin the other way.

Was clockwise at first for me

Is she naked for a reason do you think?
It alternated for me.

At first it was clockwise. Then after a few seconds it switched to counter-clockwise. I spent a few minutes trying to see clockwise again to no avail.

It keeps on alternating.

Mine was counter clockwise, then after staring at it managed to turn it clockwise.

I can manipulate it now! :D

Am I the only one that can see it counter? Maybe because im young. When I try to manipulate it, I sometimes get stuck on clockwise, but when I turn away and look back a few moments later its always counter clock-wise.

After analyzing the image in a frame by frame, I determined that it can spin in either direction, but I still think the test is BS.

You mean, other than myself who said I can only see it counter now and the 3-4 others who say they can see both?

Yea... other than that, you are the only one.

For me it went counter clockwise for a couple seconds and after that I could only see clockwise.

Both, it depends on where you are looking from and where the clock is.

Clockwise at first, then I glanced at it randomly and saw it counter. Took me a bit, but now I can manipulate it.

Yes. That make the test "hawter."

It is. Not to mention that the right brain/left brain dichotomy is based on little evidence.

I meant seeing clockwise as your "default" direction.

Ok, assuming the clock in on the ground facing up, I see clockwise all the time. If I cover up most of the body and gradually move the cover off, I can see counter clockwise, but it always flips back to clockwise before I have the whole body uncovered. weird

I usually have to stare at the shadow to reverse it, and it'll kick back for me after a few seconds. I usually see it clockwise from the perspective of looking over her head, which I think is the same perspective you are using.

At first, it only moved counter-clockwise, and I was really trying to make it do the opposite.
But! I just visited the sight again, and now I only see it moving clockwise. This reminds me of those damn "optical-illusion" pictures form back in the day. I could stare & stare and stare, I never EVER saw the damn bridge, or dolphins or anything!!!! This is really frustrating for me, and OH!, I don't know why...

Apparently some study showed that men are more likely to see the girl and women are more likely to see the old hag.

First counter-clock wise. Then after scrolling down, then going back up, it was going clock wise.

Strictly clockwise... which tells me the test is bull, since (if the left-brain/right-brain thing is true) I'm one of the most left brained people around.
