Haha - the .gif changes it's rotation automatically. It's a joke, gag... whatever you want to call it.

Nothing scientific about it. Sorry for those who felt they were creative. The only creative person is the one who tricked everyone into thinking it's a real test.

Leave the page open and you will see that it simply changes on it's own.
+1 der
First one way, then a flicker, then the other way, then two more flickers, then back the same way...I do feel smarter though, now, after being only one of two people not fooled into seeing what I was 'supposed' to see. The power send me money of suggestion send me money is amazing.

Wrong, I can change it's direction on command. Don't be so quick to judge because you can't comprehend something. Read ffingers explanation.

I agree with Gringo. I trained my self enough where I can change directions at will.

Whoa, easy full brain user. I went back and tried it again. Now there's only one person that thinks it's a gag. If I put my focus off to the side and stare at it with only peripheral vision...yep, both ways whenever, and sometimes she looks like an olympic ice skater coming at me during take off.

I may or may not be rescinding my +1 der...I'm so confused [:@]

This thing has been on a bunch of forums for a while now. I was going to post it but avoided doing so because it ended up creating very opinionated debates that went nowhere ... I'm surprised there's only 1 on the "bogus" side on this one because on most others there were more. I'll basically say what I did elsewhere: It is not as simple as you may think in that you're "willing" it to do anything.

I broke it down in my gif animation program and it's basically on a loop whereby it starts at different positions depending on when you actually load it (it set to start at random frame points) ... this is why you sometimes "think" you see a clockwise rotation and sometimes counter clockwise, because it switches very subtly just as she is hoping and the two legs come together.

You can test this by simply reloading (hitting the "refresh" button on your browser) the image and you'll notice it loads sometimes going CW and at other times CCW. Let it load for a minute (it's a long loop) and then hit refresh several times.

- I saved the gif while it was going one direction
- I waited until it was going the other direction and saved it as a separate gif
- I opened both gif images in Adobe Image Ready and looked at each individual slice layer by layer. There are 34 slices in each. After the image revolves several times, there's a point where it CLEARLY switches direction but it is done so subtly by her hopping on one leg and then switching directions that it is difficult to tell unless you look at it in its individual frames.
- I had 3 coworkers look at the individual frames at the point I was convinced it switched. On the first 3 frames I asked them and they all agreed CW. I then advanced 2 frames ahead and asked, and they all agreed CCW.

I would take it frame by frame and record it to show you what I'm looking at but I doubt anyone is taking this too seriously anyway so it wouldn't be worth the time .. I just wanted to prove it to myself and I did. How they combined the two I haven't a clue. Thanks

I'm not saying I know exactly how they did it (whoever did it is very talented) but I do fully believe it's just a simple gif trick to play on the mind. And Yes, I waste too much time at work [8D]

Disclaimer: I still may be wrong but that's my story and I'm sticking with it Elsewhere, some agreed and some still disagreed so I don't expect it'll be any different here.
