    HOLY !#$@$%@$# I FINALLY SEE THE COUNTER-CLOCKWISE!!!! But now I can't get it to go back to clockwise.

    EDIT: What the heck this is driving me nuts, everytime I close my eyes it goes back the other way, and it keeps flipping from clockwise to counter-clockwise.

    Yup, at first I only got it anti clockwise... it was sooo obvious until I took the above tip and stared at the foot (I narrowed my eyes so I could only see the foot).
    BANG! It is now going clockwise and I can't change it back.

    How strange.

    Quite bizarre. I'm guessing it's what your mind is expecting/wanting to see.

    I see only Counter-Clockwise. I can imagine though how some people see it clockwise. 'I almost see it'..

    I can only see a clockwise rotation. I'll try again later this evening, when I'm probably drunk anyway.

    OK, after I got it to go clockwise, I couldn't get it to go back. Now after leaving it alone for a day and coming back, it's going counter-clockwise again.........

    Al right, I got it. Just watch at leg's shadow and she has no chances to rotate even 1 lap.

    Wow, that freaked me out. I saw it going counter clockwise, then I clicked the link provided, I looked back, and now its stuck at clockwise and wont change.

    It's weird. I've tried lots of tips posted in this thread, and I still see her only going clockwise. I can imagine that you could see it as counter-clockwise, but I can't imagine the anatomy still being correct, so everytime I go try again to change direction I'm deep down expecting her to still go clockwise, that's probably why it doesn't work.

    I used to be able to see it going both ways, but now only CCW. :P
