Test your brain. Does the girl spin counterclockwise or clockwise?If you see her wearing leotards and spinning to the right then you are a liberal pinko or a woman. If you see the naked girl spinning to the left then you are a red-blooded American male even if you are a woman who lives in Europe and likes to knit. If you see her spinning bothways you live in California or New Hampshire or Vermont. Scientific Test approved for Adult Use by the USDA

Ha! that's real funny. At first I saw her spinning clockwise, then replacing my focus she started spinning counterclockwise. Now can I see her spin both ways at command and in leotards or naked at wish. So what's the verdict, Scientific Spinmaster? Surely not both ways at the same time. I live in liberal pinko New York. In the red-blooded American part of New York. In a liberal pinko county in New York. In a good red-blooded American township in New York. If you stare long enough you'll see her spin both ways at the same time and do a somersault with it. (I'll stay out of an eventual next hogwash. I can do no good there. So I give up, leave it to you old gang)

I had to go back and reread your post, Milo. You got to get up pretty early in the afternoon to hornwswoggle us forever.
If you see her wearing leotards and spinning to the right ...
If you see the naked girl spinning to the left ...
If you see her spinning bothways ...
She's spinning to the right during half of her rotation and to the left during the other half and it doesn't matter whether she's spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Oh, oh, my bad.  The test doesn't determine whether you are a good guy or a pinko. This is a test to discover whether your brain is mostly circuited on the left or on the right. Below are some traits that are peculiar to the left or the right side of the brain . You see her spinning counter-clockwise <-- 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
safeYou see her spinning clockwise --> RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONSuses 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  Heaven help me. I test on both sides of the street.

She's spinning to the right during half of her rotation and to the left during the other half and it doesn't matter whether she's spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise. Ah Grasshopper, you approach the truth but then run away. Yes her spin is both to the left and to the right. But now, betsy bug, you must explain what causes the illusion of the change in direction of her spin. Hint: Look at the spinning girl through Einstein's eyes.

Einstein, Schmeinstien. The question is not what causes the illusion of the change of direction of her spin. but what causes the illusion of a direction at all. Faldage, Faldage, Faldage. If there is percieved movement at all it must be directional. All movement is directional. Change in form is what causes the silhouetted girl (girl to be sure) to appear to turn. But the direction of her turn is Einstonian-Schmeistonian, that is, the direction of movement is relative to the viewer. Get in bed, Faldage. Now rotate your left foot counterclockwise. Now look at the shadow of your rotating foot on the far wall. See? It is rotating counterclockwise too. Ok, keep rotating your foot and twist your body and head untill you are looking back at your rotating foot. Yes, now your foot is rotating clockwise but when you turn head and look at the shadow of your foot on the far wall it still rotates counterclockwise. Now unfold yourself and ask yourself why does the silhouetted girl have a foot shadow? After about 20 minuites you will say "Ah Ha!" and then you will smile and shout " Milo! You magnificient basta...I mean, Milo! I read your book."

My apologies, I focused on only one misleading visual trick while the instigators of the twirling girl included several. Yes, I approached the truth and but then turned away smug. Now I see that the illusion works because the human mind tries to transform the visual odd into the visual familiar to facilitate infomation processing. I only focused on the Coriolis effect of the circling i.e. when the shadow of the girl's foot turned clockwise I corrected for the girl's apparent motion and saw her turning counter-clockwise. But it turns out that the devious plan of this study was to disrupt conceptualizations by changing "several" key visual clues as she spun. I promise I will never be wrong again.

Einstein, Schmeinstien. The question is not what causes the illusion of the change of direction of her spin. but what causes the illusion of a direction at all. okay, I focused really, really hard on the outstretched leg, and for the briefest moment she switched from clockwise to anticlockwise. and I mean briefest! I think it was a trick of the mind. - joe (addlepated) friday

This computer is slower and she mves in pieces, by squinting, talking myself through it and trying really hard I can make her switch but only when her foot is at the extreme right on the page.
A lot of work for the result.

Boy, does this "non-word thread" (as tsuwm calls it) need closure. What began as a sophisticated intellectual exercise has now become a spate of one-word grunts. But first, for those of you with buttoned-down minds who can't see the girl turn but in one direction, let me ask a question that will almost blind you with its brilliance. Ready? Why the heck is the dancing girl's foot shadow shown in the depiction? Hint: It is not for Art that her foot shadow is shown.BranShea: You are an accomplished artist of note in watercolor circles. Please go back and look at the relationship between the shadow and the turn. Then come back here and explain the relationship and the effect to us and then we can all go home.

Hmm.
Say Shea, maybe you've been doing too many still life paintings for the past twenty years to notice, but the moving shadow which represents the dancer's extended leg only moves from the viewer's right to his left.
Where, relative to the viewer and the dancer, is the light source?

ever have one of those days where you just feel so ron? Tell me about it... I met her on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron
Somebody told me that his name was Jill
Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron
Yeah, my heart stood still
Yes, his name was Jill
And when she walked me home
Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron
She knew what he was doing when she blackened my eye
Da do ron-ron-ron, da do ron-ron
I knew that he was trouble so I told her good-bye
She do ron ron he do ron ron.

At this point I think you can forget all hope to get this thread back to being  " a sophisticated intellectual exercise". So you'd better come up with a good ogerhunch definition. (before the deadline) " And Six were Kids and One a Ghostie" R.A.L.

I'm left-handed, and the girl spins anti-clockwise. But then this man, and this one both pooh-pooh hemisphere specialisation.

It might have been me that you 'saw', Candy. When I rejoined the Board last week, I explored lots of threads to see what had been going on in the eight years since I was last here. I used to enjoy hogwash, back then, and hoped that it was still going on, but all I found here was an out-of-date link, so I haven't really felt that I could take part in this discussion. I have never been Hogmaster, but I suppose I could give it a go, if there is enough interest? I do have some time to spare, these days.
