Which way do you see the dancer spinning...clockwise or counterclockwise?

Not only am I left-brained, I'm so left-brained I can't even imagine how one could look at that thing and think it was going clockwise.

Ditto.

Am I the only one who was AR enough to stare at this thing to show that she goes both directions? The animation changes every 24 frames.

is that how it works? i couldn't figure out how i could get it to switch back without knowing how i did it.

It seems to change. My wife sat and counted and it was 105 revolutions that it changed. Must be a random image or something. Very clever.

No she doesn't. I opened it up in Animation Shop. There's only 34 frames in the animation -- completing one revolution.

Dude, there is no dancer. It's a gif. It's not moving, it's just a changing picture. But beyond the obvious and cynical, since I perceive it to be moving in the direction that right brained people supposedly think it should be moving even though I know myself to be extremely left brained, I think it's hooey.

SHUT UP. JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

Wow, neat.
I saw clockwise first.
Then worked and got to the point where if I look at her arms, she goes counter clockwise.
If I look at her legs, it switches back to clockwise.

this morning she is counterclockwise.
the other day jim had her up and she switched on me and I couldn't switch her back.
