    In my experience with this thing it all depends on where your eyes focus. So I guess you could put me down for both as I can get it to where it appears to go both ways.

    And there is nothing wrong with that.

    Ahem, anyway, anti-clockwise for me. Try as I might, I can't reverse it. So in my mind,

    Im pretty sure she was always going anti-clockwise then i scrolled down and up and im sure she was going the other way for a bit, until i scrolled again... the anti clockwise makes sense i more a science and maths than philosophy and religion guy...

    Edit: it just changed direction without me even scrolling... this thing is weired...

    This is just so weird. One moment she's going anticlockwise, then I read the text on left and look back, suddenly, she's going clockwise!!

    First look, and it was anti-clockwise, and I thought 'there's no way you can see that the other way round' .... then it flipped. Now I can decide which way to see it.

    I was more tickled by one of the comments:

    i think i only have one side of my brian!!

    I can only see it clockwise. I hope my left side starts working soon, as I need to finish my master's thesis next week.

    You don't need to lose it, to know that you had it.

    Started counter-clockwise. Then I looked at the text for 1/10 of a second and it started turning the other way. And now I do not seem to able to reverse it again..

    I know except the other way round. It was going clockwise, then I looked away, thought about it, looked back and it wasn't!

    I had clockwise. Read the instructions and then looked again. Soon it was going anti then clockwise and back 'n forth. Power of the mind
    "No one said it was gonna be easy! If it was, everyone would do it..that's who you know who really wants it."

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

    Both for me.

    Edit: warning - comment in spoiler may ruin the fun of trying to figure it out
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    I figured out my own little way of making the girl turn which ever way I want by focusing on her foot that is in the air and by changing my perception of whether it is moving in front or behind her other leg thus making her 'change direction'.

    Who ever made it was one smart cookie.

    I have a headache now after staring at it for the last fifteen minutes. Time for a couple of Panadol I think.
