Which Way Does She Spin For You?

Look at the dancer spinning at this link here:

SPINNING DANCER

Which direction s she spinning in for you? Clockwise or Counter Clockwise?

This is driving me absolutely bonkers this afternoon!

It's so weird, I can see it both ways. It starts out counter, but then if I look at her feet, I see clockwise.

Everyone else sees it the same way you do! They see it both ways... But usually start out seeing it clockwise first, then see it counter.

I, however, ONLY see counter clockwise. And it's driving me mad that I can't see it just clockwise.

I've tried looking at just her feet. Then her uppper body. Tried looking at her through my peripheral vision. She only spins counter clockwise.

Once I see it clockwise, for whatever reason I can't go back to seeing it counter-clockwise. It's odd. Really nifty too!

The gif changes. Sometimes she's on her left leg spinning clockwise. Sometimes she's on her right leg spinning counter-clockwise. It's a trick.

Actually, it's not a trick. She really does trun either way, depending on your perspective.

I still ONLY see her spin counter clockwise.

It's totally a trick. But the changing of the gif seems to be random - I can't make it happen. Just tell me this - is she always standing on the same leg for you? Because if you watch long enough, and she seems to change directions, you can see her leg has changed. I'm so curious as to where this came from.

It has nothing to do with perspective. I want to know where this australian newspaper got it with this bogus "right-brain/left-brain" thing. It's not that I don't believe in right-brain and left-brain isms, I'm a psych major and know about people who've had their brains separated.

It's just that - this gif is fake. It's irrelevant to right-brain vs. left-brain. And it has everyone fooled. How strange.

SHe totally NEVER changes legs on me. She is ALWAYS on her right leg, with her left leg in the air. And she spins to her left.

Also, I can be looking at the same computer screen as someone else, at the very same time... And I only see her spin counter clockwise, while they see he spin clockwise.

Well, if she's not changing on your screen, then I can't prove it to you. For many people, she changes the foot she stands on.

By the way, you are seeing it right - she always spins toward her extended leg. If your friends see it differently, they're morons or something.
