    I have been staring at this chick,who supposidly goes both ways, for 5 minutes, andI can only see her turning COUNTER clock wise. Who the heck says anti-clockwise?</p>

    open it in mozilla firefox and she spins faster.</p>

    It started counterclockwise for me, I got her to switch after 30 seconds or so, I got her to switch back after another 30 seconds or so.</p>

    I can't explain how.</p>

    If I don't look at it for a little while, she resets to counterclokwise, but I can get her to switch right away.</p>

    I focus on her foot. It seems to be quicker. Like 10 seconds per switch.</p>

    It's a new day and I still can't see it! The right side of my brain is like retarded or something.</p>

    In order to see her spinning CCW, she has to be standing on her right foot. Ican see this no problem.</p>

    In order to make her turn CW, she has to be on standing her left foot.</p>

    Hit the escape key which will freeze the image. It's the only way I can see her standing on her left foot.</p>

    I can get both on command, by thinking about making her go the other way. Takes about 15 seconds though.</p>

    It's impossible for me to see it CW. I wish I used more of my right brain, I remember my art teacher laughed when she saw me drawing my final portrait.</p>

    I'm calling shenanigans. When it gets all teh way around you see it skips a little. I watched for like five minute...was going clockwise, with that little skip inbetween. Then it skipped one last time and starting going the other way...and then it went back to going clockwise after another little skip.</p>

    That's not it. You just need to stare longer. I SUCK at art. A lot. And I can see it.</p>

    I agree with TMac. Seems like a trick.</p>

    There's no trick from what I can tell. It's just a standard animated gif with 34 layers. (The layers indicate she's turning clockwise, FWIW, standing on her left foot.)</p>

    It started off counter-clockwise for me and then when I was reading the characteristics at the side, I took another look and it was going clockwise. Hasn't changed back since.</p>

    I still think there is some kind of coding in the animation or something like that. I was looking at her foot and it would spin clockwise and then the whole thing would jump a little when it got to 9 o'clock. And then it would switch to going counter clockwise, still jumping a little at 9 o'clock, and then on one of the jumps, start going back clockwise. I'm going to count rotations later and see, haha.</p>

    YEA! I did it, finally. I made her go the other way, then I blinked, it changed back. I can make her go both ways, like mynets said if I think about it. You just gotta think about her going the other way, and she will.</p>
