Turning Girl

I ran across this “intelligence” test yesterday, posted at ReadnRock.com. I agree with the majority of the posters – it doesn’t seem so much to be an intelligence test – but it does appear to work, so I guess it is a good brain exercise. Not sure if working out your brain this way does anything for you or not.

I was skeptical enough, like many of the comments posted indicate other wer – that I ripped the animated gif apart with some software I had – thinking that the graphic might be built to just switch rotation. Nope, it has only enough frames to cover one rotation EITHER direction – depending on your perception.

I got good enough I could flip it back and forth, even to the point where she doesn’t appear to go around, but rather kicks left and the back right and so on. I found the suggestions to stare at some negatives space, rather than her body to be useful. I look below the swinging food and to the side of the spinning foot.

Have fun with this and let me know how it goes!
