Try this experiment...you can\'t win!!

This is so unbelievable - just try it and you'll see...



How Smart is Your Right Foot?



This is so funny that it will boggle your mind.



And you will keep trying at least 50 more times to see if you can

outsmart your foot, but you can't.



1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and

make clockwise circles.



2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your
right
hand. Your foot will change direction.



I told you so ......... And there's nothing you can do about it!

Maybe you're just more talented...able to concentrate simultaneously on two different movements...

I can pat my head and rub my tummy at the same time or vice versa but nope, I can't stop my foot from changing directions when I attempt this.

Same. I remember this from once before, and I thought I had done it, but I now can't reproduce my results, so I must have been dreaming. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Trippy. I'm laying down on my stomach, and get the "desired results"--my foot does change direction when I draw a "6!"

Lol...I was able to keep it going in the same direction...but I had to do it REALLY slow and think hard about it...if I try it fast (like the 20 other attemts I'd made) I can't keep it from changing directions...too funny...

Right here....
Re: Try this experiment...you can\'t win!!

I was able to do this on the first try; my right foot stayed going clockwise.

It's _extremely_ easy, if you give the test about 3 seconds of logical thinking /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I thought everybody knew that in the Southern hemisphere, you had to move your foot in a counterclockwise circle. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
