But which way round - clockwise or anti-clockwise?

both... obv

Aye, but which way do you see (and does it change)?

Anti-Clockwise & No change

Clockwise.

And of course it changes (the direction, not the image) otherwise it wouldn't spin both ways  ;nana;

Clockwise

anti clockwise, no change

lol looked at it again, maybe not!

Clockwise, no change

I just think it should be better lit

Perv

;D

Wait, hang on .....


no, I can't find any evidence to refute that statement.

Two versions (at slightly different speeds). 

top one I was seeing only clockwise

bottom two I'm seeing bothways

whats more clockwise the right leg is raised and anti-clockwise it's left leg.
are you sure it's not changing  ;carlocitrone;

Very cleverly done, almost a seamless change.

hahahahahahahahahahha

VERY CLEVER - the image CHANGES after about 5 mins or so lol.

First of all she has her LEFT leg up then she has her RIGHT leg up.

Very subtle, thought I was going mad lol

It doesn't change.

It's an animated gif.  37 frames, in a constant loop.

watch the image for over 5 mins.   When the girls back is to you you will see her left leg is up,   after about 5 mins when her back is to you you then see her right leg is up.

In an animated gift you can indeed loop this in. 

It loops in a couple of seconds.

took about 5 mins my end, unless I missed several loops when blinking lol

It's an optical illusion.  I've just checked, it's actually 34 frames, each one 0.03 seconds long in a continuous loop.

That means it takes a little over 1 second for the animation to loop.

Yeh just slowed it right down, it doesn't change.
Again very clever.

Clockwise -- but ask me again at around 10pm  ;dewi;

I'm definitely going mad then  ;D

This is some crazzzeeeee weird shit lol, when the two dancers together pic get to that stage where they nearly sync 9as both at sep speeds, you can see one has left leg up and one has right leg up when their backs are to us.

I shall be dreaming spinning women tonight if I look att his any longer lol

Cover up one image then the other. You will find that seperately they go the same way but togeter they appear to go oppositely.

If it was better lit you would be able to tell which way no problem. It's the fact the leg (and arm) can be going infront or behind the body and you can't tell as it's dark. It would have held my attention longer if it was lit though.

OK, I have just grabbed both images and one is called 0,,5675247  and the other  0567524700rev  (for reverse maybe??)

I have the stills of both pictures now and you can see from the position of the 'heel' of the foot that it is two sep images where one has the left leg raised and the other has the right leg raised.

It can look like an optical image as the leg 'could' look like it was raised in front or behind, but the heel on the flat foot gives it away as to which way the leg is facing.   The toe is pointed on the raised leg, which from behind in a silouette can make it look like the toes are facing forward.  The flat foot is a giveaway here and maybe I am mad but I'm thinking that this may be one of those tricks that gets everone debating it then it comes out weeks later that the gif was spliced/looped  (hopefully, cos the men in white coats are coming for me otherwise hahahahahahaha)

Really weird... I am in London with (Dan) Carter looking at this page, and although we are both looking at it at the same time on the same PC, I swear it's going anti-clockwise, and he swears it's going clockwise!!...

clockwise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was clockwise for me and anti clockwise for my wife, at the same time. I could not see where she was coming from.

But after several munites, if you look in the corner of your eye, you can almost choose which way she turns....

BTW the pic of the 2 next to each other drove me nuts. One would change mid turn then I would look at that and the other would change direction.....

Good though.,.,

Clockwise - and however much I try, I cannot see anti-clockwise at all.

The shadows at the bottom would both be going the same way if it was the same image just at different speeds.  One goes from left to right, and the other from right to left.

Right I've passed my watershed and -- HoldorFold dreaming of spinning women is definately on the cards

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D    Good night and sweeeeeeeet dreams 

Correct!

The fact that one of the files is labelled "rev" is a bit of a clue too ;)

Yes, that did help confirm I was not going mad when i downloaded them to check the frames in image ready  (sad, sad sad yes I know lol)  ;D

So what is going on?

Is she turning one way, am I going mad?

Depends which side of the brain you predominantly use apparently.

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe 


RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking 

In that case I can't see her spinning at all  ;)

the pictures static, the forums spinning

Ok- now they are going clockwise!!!!!!!

Very Clever

That's what it says on the site it's on, but it's pseudo-science and arbitrary attributes.  The fact that you can see it going different ways at different times shows that it's other factors that determine which way it spins.

Try scrolling up the page to the image, and then scrolling down.  That sometimes makes a difference.  Or if you focus to the left or right of the image.

It's a clever optical illusion.

what woman?

Wow, sorry to bump an old thread, but just had an epiphany with regards to this. I find I can now choose which way I want the girl to spin by lowering my eyes to just the bottom half of the body for a couple of seconds and telling myself that it is spinning a certain way. Then I look at the whole picture again and it will continue to spin that way until I repeat the switch process.

Totally amazing though.

I wonder if you extract all the images from the gif in sequence order which way it's spinning...

Oooops, just realised the post 2 above mine says practically the same thing lol.

Ah well, 2 and a half months to 'get it' is better than never I guess ;)
