Don't try too hard guys/gals. If you see it rotating clockwise or counter-clockwise, that's just how your brain perceives it. Ok, here it is again (lol):

I can see it going clockwise or counter-clockwise.

1) anit-clockwise (what are they smoking?)

2) Yes nude with nipples???

3) I can at will switch directions. I notice when I am reading the text its clockwise. If I look at it and try to do math in my head, it starts spinning counter-clockwise.

I am in vmware training class, so I may have spent too much time on this.

Ok, here's a way to have it rotate the way you want (at least it works for me):

Counter-clockwise: Stare below at the shadow and when when you see the shadow of the extended foot at the lower left stare back up towards the right of the image

Clockwise: Stare below at the shadow and when when you see the shadow of the extended foot at the lower right stare back up towards the left of the image

Oh snap! YOU JUST THREW MY BRAIN INTO REVERSE!!!

...

Now it's going counterclockwise alright. Curse you Reggie! I had plans for tabletrat's apparent gift!

EDIT: I can switch it back and forth at will now. Oh joy. Ah, so what can I do with THAT gift?

Of course I can deliberately dope myself into thinking it's the reverse, but only by deliberately distorting the geometry in my head... If you want this sort of thing to work, you've got to make the projection strictly orthographic, and moreover it needs to be either horizontal, or eliminate the mirror cue.

Then the animation is truly ambiguous, but the application to cranial chirality rather than marching band experience is still questionable.

Anit-clockwise? what is that?
I said 'anti-clockwise' which is the english oposite of clockwise!
Never got on with the american version

Ok. You can relax now. I had an elite team of kidnappers/brain surgeons ready to heist your skull ballast, but I called them off and cancelled the study. But you'll let me know if anything changes, right?
