I don't understand. The longer I stare, it changes directions. I swear I looked at it and her right leg was stuck of for a while, then her left.

how the fuck is that counter-clockwise

its obviously clockwise
>> Anonymous
It was clockwise, then I looked at the bottom for a bit, and when I looked up, it was counter clockwise.

CHANGE IT BACK, GOD DAMN YOU.

The image rotates in the direction in accordance with the side of your brain which you use the most (Clockwise = Right; Anti-clockwise = Left). Apparently, if you can make it change direction, you have an IQ of 160. Unfortunately, only 16% of Americans can do this.

i was just about to type "there is no way its not clockwise" and just as i went to close the window of the gif it jumped and started going backwards, its 12am and now im freaked and need a fap before sleep...thanks /gif/

ok me again, i worked out if i look AT the gif it rotates clockwise, and if focus just above or below the gif and use my pruferal vision or however u spell it, it goes anti-clockwise...
wow...

That's complete bullshit, it has nothing to do with right-brain left-brain, or IQs. There are 3 key frames out of the 21 frame animation in which 2 of them suggest a perspective of clock-wise, and 1 suggests a perspective of counter-clockwise, depending on which of those 3 you see first will result in which way you see her turning, as since the silhouettes results in a lack of depth of field for you to register, whichever of the frames you see first will suggest to you which way she is turning and form there your brain will fill in the blanks

See image. The point in which her 2 legs cross over is one of the frames, when the leg comes out from behind the silhouette of the other leg, your brain has to choose whether the leg is far away, or close up. If you consciously think about that, you can decide for yourself which way you want her to spin when the legs pass over each other, just imagine the leg being either far away or close up, and the direction will change

Omg, thanks, now I just need to stare at either of the two examples to switch the motion of the woman
>> pozparty
dang, I see it now. i have to look at the non-silhouette img then look at her to make her go counter, but if i look at her feet, she goes clockwise again
>> Anonymous
if you want to switch the motion easily, stare at the lower foot rotating on its own, for about 10-20 seconds (to lose your perspective) then look back up and depending at the frame of the rotation you brain see's first decides which way it looks like it's spinning.

My IQ is > 9000 and I can make her stand still.


Oh, and you just lost the game.

I did something similar to this, simply cover the top half of her so you can only see her ankle and her shadow. Stare at a point between them until it seems like the leg is waving back an forth. After that you are free to choose the direction on spin.

This image separates people into one of three distinct groups, and every person instinctively starts in group A, works their way to group B, but very rarely finally emerges into group C, the final (and only correct) group of the three. I will now describe to the reader each of the three groups.

Group A consists primarily of those unaccustomed to visual trickery or illusion, or those virgin to the animated image in discussion. When a person first views the image, they are almost exclusively inducted into Group A before they even realize it. Common theories in Group A include assumptions that the animation random changes direction, or is seen differently by people depending on which side of their brain has more functionality, or by whether you are right or left-handed. Group A is the "ignorant" group, full of novice readers with already strongly-formed opinions.

Group B however, consists of a lesser (but by no means little) amount of people who consider themselves "enlightened" by their study and in-depth analysis of the animation. They have come to the generally accepted conclusion that the image is nothing more than an illusion lacking adequate depth-perception, shadowing and shading, or lighting. Thus, they feel like they have cleverly deduced that the woman can in fact be spinning either way, depending on how to view it. The moment they encounter someone from Group A, they feel obligated to shove these facts (which they only read themselves and took as factual) down their throats, and hold their heads high and prideful, looking down on any other opinion disdainfully. Unfortunately, in their arrogance, they do not realize they are not correct, as any opinions not conforming with Group B as dismissed as suggestions by Group A, and therefore they falsely assume they must be ridiculous (once again, even though just a short while ago they were making the same assumptions themselves).

Finally, we have Group C, the ultimate minority in the matter, consisting of only a few individuals who have discovered the absolute and correct truth about the animation in question, yet are so few in number, any attempt at a vocal outreach is immediately quashed by the amateurish ramblings of Group A or the blind, mindless repetition of Group B's findings. You see, Group C consists of the few people who have discovered that the woman only does, in fact, spin one way, as this can be 100% undeniably confirmed by viewing the shadows of her legs and feet. They have examined how parts of the shadow enter and exit the picture, and establish a second-dimension in the animation, thus allowing the viewer to see that her foot in fact is making a counter-clockwise motion, proving that she does, in fact, only move one way, and that way is counter-clockwise. If her movements were to be clockwise, the shadow (or reflection, it does not matter which you consider it to be) could not possibly match up in any circumstance, no matter where the light (or mirrored panel) were to be.

However, any time Group C attempts to disperse this information to Group B, the semi-retarded and undereducated members of Group B can only get as far as "She only spins counter-clockwise because..." before immediately spewing forth their putrid, festering bullshit-covered nonsense about illusions and perception, as if they were recognized professors or certified scientists.


So which group are you part of anon? Because I am part of Group C, and damned well proud to be.

I tacitly orient my perception by pretending to watch her from below the floor, LOL!

WRONG! When she "moves clockwise", she "hops", hence the shadow coming nearer, then farther, then nearer once again.

It's neither a shadow nor a reflection. It's a mirror image underneath her. I can't see how either of those could be an exact duplicate of her silhouette, completely parallel to her. Shadows and reflections have to be at least somewhat at an angle.

seriously? this dumbass /gif/ still works as a troll? you fucking dumbasses are still going for this?
