Do this with your right foot & hand and see what happens

Illinoisguy1 · 06 Nov 08 :: 15:19

1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY......) and while sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

I've tried it and it does change the direction of the foot.

Same thing happen to you?

Yep. I guess it's a brain thing, the way your brain is wired. Probably has to do with the right and left hemispheres. There's some really fascinating brain tests you can do.

There is also a gender thing regarding one thing a woman can do that a man can't.

I learned the following in school.

If you place a chair against the wall and stand away from the wall and place the top of your head against the wall above the chair and try and lift up the chair with both hands, women can do it and men can't.

I haven't tried it since school so I don't know if it's still true, but when I was a kid the boys couldn't do it, but the girls could.

My right foot can't turn clockwise anyway, so I guess it doesn't work

TheCentralScrutinizer · 06 Nov 08 :: 17:14

That one is true Illinois because women's center of gravity and most of their weight is in the hips and below. Men's COG and most of their weight is in their torso. I remember a science teacher in school demonstrating and then explaining that.

I'd love to give you a link to a website I once found filled with goofy tests like this. You'd love it. Well, never mind. You've propably seen something similar on the web already. I'll try to find that site and link it here then. Hopefully it wasn't in finnish. If I remember right one of the tests was something austronauts use.

Here's one

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

That picture is making me go mad with it left and right turning.

When I first looked at it she was going clockwise.

I looked for a long time and nothing changed. But then I looked at just the bottom shadow and I could make her go the other direction. But if quickly went back to clockwise.

Simon · 06 Nov 08 :: 19:48

Exactly what happened to me Illinoisguy1.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 06 Nov 08 :: 19:59

Wow, that's weeeeeeeeeird!

domesticelefant · 06 Nov 08 :: 20:02

That thing makes me dizzy.

TeeJay · 06 Nov 08 :: 22:11

I first saw her turning counter-clockwise. But when I don't look at it for a while and then go back, sometimes she turns clockwise. I've switched a few times now. Amazing how the brain can play tricks on you.

So, what do you guys see on this?

Or this:

A bear in the woods, sex, and a clown.

domesticelefant · 06 Nov 08 :: 22:31

I can't make any sense of the first one, but I do see either sex or some dolphins in the second one and the third one shows either one big clown face or two smaller ones performing at the circus. (Stupid explanation, but that's the only way I can do it in English.)
And the lady is only moving clockwise to me. Seems like I can't trick my brain.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 06 Nov 08 :: 22:35

Smut. I see smut.

domesticelefant · 06 Nov 08 :: 22:37

Do you see Butterflies, too?

TeeJay · 06 Nov 08 :: 22:41

You want me to say something to the first one or do we want people to keep guessing?

The second one, like Anne said, is either smut or dolphins. When you show it to children, they always see dolphins.

The third one is either a clown's face (if you turn it 90° counter-clockwise) or, also like Anne said, artists performing in a circus. (There's horses on the left, a lady with a balloon, a guy on a unicycle with hoops and a dog with a ball at the bottom.)

These are also very popular:

Dalmatian

Sex

Clowns head on it's side

Young lady looking away

Both, but mostly a face. Eskimo looking into a cave as well

Simon · 06 Nov 08 :: 23:33

These are so cool.

Yep, there's a dalmatian in the first picture. Can you see it now? It's on the right hand side, sniffing the ground. Its rear end points to the right. (And, uh, Laura, where did you see a bear?)

TheCentralScrutinizer · 06 Nov 08 :: 23:42

Took me a looooooong time to find the dolphins. :embarrassed:

b11001001 · 07 Nov 08 :: 00:26

Who can see the dancer going counter clockwise? I see it clockwise.

b11001001 · 07 Nov 08 :: 00:27

Anymore? Those are fun.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 07 Nov 08 :: 00:41

I can make her swing both ways.
