My answer would probably mean the gig is up on this...

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

Um. Whuh?

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

Because I can flip between it moving clockwise or anti-clockwise...

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, so can I when I focus on it.

It's the way it most naturally turns or which it was first turning that matters.

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

I can do it without focusing on it...when I first looked at it, it was moving anti-clockwise...however, when I scrolled back up to it, without even consciously thinking about it, it was moving clockwise.

She changes direction for me so I can't say. She STARTED being clockwise, but every time I look away she changes direction. I can't make her do it consciously though.

IT'S A CONSPIRACY!

[rosiedoes.livejournal.com]

I struggle to get her to change directions, she primarily turns clockwise for me.

[apple.livejournal.com]

That's me, too. Once I get her to change, it's hard for me to get her back.

(I know the secret to this, though, and I was kind of surprised by the answer I got the first time I ever tried, but it's a wicked cool thing.)

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

Glad to know it isn't just me...

[nikitaquincy.livejournal.com]

I keep coming back to this and she only turns clockwise for me.

[dan-o-m.livejournal.com]

I'm flattered this amused you enough to post on your own journal. :)

I'm surprised how many people see it flip back and forth. My brother wrote me back in an e-mail saying that it was an amusing idea, but obviously it was cheating since it kept changing direction every few seconds.

At first she was totally going right to left. Then she was going left to right. Now I can change her at my will. (looking at the shadows at the bottom is the way to do that, not the dancer).

frustrating! & mesmerising. i could only look at her turn twice (clockwise) before i looked away because it was making me twitch.

[rifle.livejournal.com]

I just made her change directions - I'm so proud.

[keesani.livejournal.com]

counter-clockwise - the shadow only goes one way :P

[madscientist77.livejournal.com]

I only ever see her go one way?? Always thought I was strange!

[trodders.livejournal.com]

Oooh, you've just fried my brain for a good twenty minutes.
She starts off going clockwise for me everytime, but I've worked out how to make her switch :P

[ballytivnan.livejournal.com]

after 26 turns she switches. does this have something to do with first impressions??

[eyerenderingfan.livejournal.com]

why does she have to be naked?
XD

[mylexie.livejournal.com]

For me she only wants to turn widdershins for some reason..
