Left vs Right

I saw her spinning clockwise first, seeing it counterclockwise was a bit of a challange but if you try a little you can actually switch instantly :D

If you can't see it the other way I discovered a little trick making it easier but I'll let you find that on your own ^^

Happy spinning!

Also clockwise, and took me quite a while to see it counter-clockwise. Looking at the shadow seems to help.

Were the nipples really necessary?

Clockwise for me, I can't see it go counter-clockwise at all.

yep, it helps to focus on the shadow of the raised leg. I also noticed that when you do that you can see her stand facing you and only move her leg left and right :)

First i see it clockwise, and then it turn anti-clockwise after a while and does not change back. To see it clockwise again it must focus anything beside my screen.

That is totally freaky.

I think that they're changing the way the image turns, just to make all of us think there's an illusion.

I'm seeing anti-clockwise and can not seem to change it no matter how hard I try.

I think it matters if you see her from top or bottom, when you say counter-clockwise or clockwise..

Interesting effect - I watched it first time half asleep in the early morning (today) and saw it first counter and then changing direction with every turn.

*groan* It's too early.

I can see it turn either way at will. I saw clockwise the first time, but can easily focus on the hovering foot and its shadow to switch the direction at any time.

...and of course the nipple was necessary. It's an animated phsycological test, and your focus on the nipple has revealed a detail about you that the direction of the turn would not have. :twisted:

As did my statement the nipple should be there :shock:
You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think.

I think they added the nipple just to keep people from freaking other people out by saying:

"If she's naked then where are her nipples?"
"If there truly is an evil in this world, it lies within the hearts of mankind."
