That was great but I'm not sure how many math nerds there are here at the IHB. Are you sure you weren't a math teacher in a former life?
 
After hours & hours, I am finally able to see the dancer spin clock-wise and counter clock-wise almost on demand...

There is this whole thing that if you see it spin clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

That was so incredibly weird. As I stared at her thinking that there was no way that she was going any way except clockwise, she suddenly switched. I just couldn't stare any longer to see her switch back again. Then my husband came in and I asked him the direction, he said "clockwise", the opposite of where I was at. After he said it, back to clockwise for me. The brain is a very strange thing.
 
This is driving me BATTY! I stare at her and she is turning clockwise with her left foot down, and then poof! she is turning counterclockwise with her right foot down. I stare for minutes at a time and she doesn't change, but then I glance away for a second and she changes. The next time, it switches quickly while I'm looking at her. Very weird, indeed!
 
A dancer turns in the direction of the leg that is raised when doing a pirouette. She does not push off with that leg to spin in the other direction. Right leg is raised...turns to the right. I had to get up and do pirouettes in the living room just now to be sure. I can't see it any other way yet.
 
It took me a while... and a major jolt of caffiene, but if I stare at her foot long enough, she stutters and changes direction.

Which is quite possibly the best argument against eye-witness testimony EVER.
