Very clearly clockwise for me. What's it mean...is this a Mike trick?
I'm afraid of staring at it too long ; )

I'm not surprised at your answer...

Look at it again, but as your are looking at it.
Read the blue text above it; Zoom Out / Zoom 100% etc.
See if it changes direction... more clues later...

random switching. Having nothing to do I counted the rotations for awhile. 46 CCW, then 96 CW, then 5 CCW, etc. So Pam must have locked in on one of the long CW rotations. George
 
Ahhhhhh...wow, that's so true. Except I'm reality-based and very detail oriented. That's so cool. Or maybe not...I'd rather be a bit more balanced, like you guys : )

How about what George said, I wonder if that makes a difference?

I can make it change at will. If I read all the text at the top it turns one way. If I eat something and think about what I am tasting, it goes the other way. LOL!
This is the weirdest and most EVIL thing I've ever seen! LOL!

How about now? :)

George, you are a true switch-hitter ; ) Not only do you see both
ways, you can even keep all under control and switch when you want
to! Can I have a piece of your brain?

Ho! Ho! I don't have that much to offer. Funny thing after reading the article, I can now make her swing her leg from side to side without rotating.

I always thought I had a problem up there, with everything getting mixed up in the middle so my left never knew what my right was doing.

If you see a right leg lifted clockwise, left leg - counterclockwise. I see both and like GCam can see the "swinging leg" :-) I started out clockwise until I scrolled down to see the whole picture, then it went the other way - figured something was up. lol.

Also despite what pop psychology and authors have made out of brain lateralization, the actual science doesn't back much of the myth. Remember the 'seasons' for skin coloring - and the 'appropriate' colors? That may even have more basis, but both sold books! :-)

This is slightly unscientific...I'm the only female that's participated so far. Come on girls! I'd like to see how we do. It looks like the guys are all evenly balanced. Which just confirms what they already think ; ) Wait a minute, Mike hasn't given us his answer yet....

Haha! I remember that color/season theory. They sure did sell a lot of books, huh?

It was a very definite clockwise for me for a long time and I was gettting very frustrated trying to see it any other way. Now after reading the article and Mikes tips, if I stare at the text to the top right it does go CCW but as soon as I look directly at it it goes CW again!

Funny though coz going on the description in that article I would definitely say my left brain dominates.....this doesnt make sense!!! :S
