[However, my husband and I looked at it together. At first glance, my husband saw her spinning counter-clockwise (left brain) and I saw her spinning clockwise (right brain).]

At first I thought it was a trick. However, my husband and I looked at it together. At first glance, my husband saw her spinning counter-clockwise (left brain) and I saw her spinning clockwise (right brain). After staring at her for 3 minutes, I was able to make her spin counter-clockwise by looking at her feet.

How neat!

If you are seeing this lady spinning clockwise, then it means you are using the right side of the brain. If you are seeing her spinning counter-clockwise, then you are using the left side of the brain.

Some people are able to see her spinning in both directions, but most of them see her rotating only in one. If you can see her spin in one directions and then make her spin in the other, then you are a part of a handful of people.

Even if it might not seem so, both directions can be seen. Apparently, this fact has been proved at the Yale University, USA, after 5 years of studying the human brain and its functions. Supposedly only 14% of the US population can see her spinning in both directions.



Note: I saw her go counter-clockwise, but then if I only looked at her feet, she started to spin clockwise. It took a bit longer afterwards to make her go counter-clockwise again. I have noticed that the illusion is caused by the perception of the viewer as he or she interprets the ambiguous frames where the spinning dancer’s body (legs and arms) cross over each other.

Don’t forget to share your experience with us and tell us which way you saw her go.

Need help to see her go the other way? Check out the help lady spin post.

["stranger"]

I just wanted to add that young children really don't understand the concept of the word "stranger". In my opinion, you should tell your child not to go with anyone unless mommy or daddy tells them it is okay.

Why? A stranger might say to a child,"My name is 'John Doe'. Now that you know my name, I am not a stranger to you anymore."

[Exponents]

This will help your child master algebra sooner.

Remember the number system is based off of Base 10 (power of ten).

Example:

Exponents     
                             3
                         10   =  10 x 10 x 10= 1000 (thousands place value)

                            -3
                         10   = 0.001 place value of thousandths place
