If you put yourself above her looking down you see counter clockwise. If you put yourself below her looking up (my preferable view) you see clockwise. Just a matter of viewpoint.

Look at the pivot foot. If you think it's her left leg, she's going one way. If you think her pivot foot is her right leg, she's going the other way.

This topic was just too fascinating to pass up, huh? Had to make an account & comment?

Haha, welcome aboard!

Hmm... Excellent first post. Good advice outta you. Finally saw her spin cyclonic. Although my mind still reverted back to the other way. That must mean I like looking up from below. Hehe.

She spins predominately clockwise for me, but if I blink rapidly I can force myself to see her spinning the other way frame-by-frame and then the magic happens.

My head hurts now. When I came back to this thread to see if I could see her going counter clockwise, I saw it for maybe 2 second than went back to clockwise. When I clicked on the picture, opened it in a new window, and put it right next to the other one I was able to see both pictures going in opposite directions. Sometimes they were going clockwise but most of the time they were always going in opposite directions.

That is so weird. As I got through the pages in the thread I was able to make myself be able to see it both ways at will.

This thing is messing with us. When her right leg is up she spins clockwise (if your point of view is above) When her left leg is up, she spins counter clockwise when viewed from above. It cheats and switches on us and you can tell by which leg is up.

I think you guys are messing with me. I've looked from every angle, blinked, opened other windows and she's always spinning clockwise.
