Re: Rightie or a leftie

Her right hand has the thumb trailing the hand so she can only be spinning one way and that is clockwise.That was my second observation.
 
Re: Rightie or a leftie

Yeah I've come across that one before.. simply amazing how it changes direction. Took me a few goes but it works. Does this mean I use both sides, like i'm undecided?

P.S. Something like 90% hang to the left or so i'm told.
 
Re: Rightie or a leftie

Started clockwise, but - I can make her change pretty much instantly
 
Re: Rightie or a leftie

Well this is bizarre, Now she's going clockwise for me and I can't get her going anti.

You can see it both ways, but - you never see the thumb leading; it's an illusion
 
Re: Rightie or a leftie

She started clockwise then while I was reading the table I noticed that she was turning anti-clockwise.

go figure

OK a bit more experimenting (I really should be doing something productive )

I can now get her going either way, but I have to look away, visualize which direction before looking and voila!

Depends which way I get her going, thumb trailing when clockwise, leading when anti.
 
Re: Rightie or a leftie

Right side...shes turning clockwise.

how the hell can she turn 2 ways at once.

So anti-clockwise is an illusion and the lefties don`t know it.

What you say contrdicts Wayne who says the right thumb leads and trails.

Try freezing the image and determine where the thumb is on the right hand.This will help see the truth.

You don't understand - it's an optical / cognitive (Ambiguous) illusion

Your perception switches between the 2 possibilities, if Wayne claims to see the image physically change (i.e. the thumb leading)...he's a dirty rotten liar

HEY!!!

No, I realize it's an illusion, but can see the illusion both ways. The right thumb in one instance becomes the left thumb in the other, as one illusion is the negative image of the other... I think. I'm getting very confused now.
 
Re: Rightie or a leftie

Hell... who cares which way she's turning. : She looks just fine to me

Yes, I can switch her before she even has the 'illusion' of spinning 90 degrees

But, because it's actually 2D - her 'pinky' is always leading - never her thumb. No matter which way you perceive it

But the thumb is leading on the other hand.

Well, the same point implies then - with that hand, the thumb is always leading, and doesn't change

Yes exactly, so in clockwise illusion the left thumb and right pinky is leading, and in the anticlockwise illusion, which is the negative image of the clockwise illusion, the right thumb and left pinky is leading.
