try this

[blike]

Sit up straight in your chair.

 

Lift your right foot off the ground and move it in clockwise circles. Now, draw the number 6 in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change directions.

 

LOLLYROFFLE!

[Sayonara]

Gah, stupid leg

[budullewraagh]

hmm. first time i tried i did it without changing directions. then i tried and half the time it worked, half it didnt

[atinymonkey]

Black magic, he's a witch. BURN HIM!!

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

It didn't work.

 

I'm different, so there!

[ydoaPs]

"burn the witch"

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

Ha ha, your leg got fooled!

 

 

erm, sorry, I couldn't resist.

 

 

Why would it do that anyways?

[atinymonkey]

It didn't work.

I suspect that either you don't know your left from right, clockwise from counter clockwise or you have a severe problems with your motor control skills.

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

No, it did nothing to me, and I'm normal in all of those respects.

[hierarch]

It always works when I draw the number 6 in the air with my right hand.

 

Interesting. But how to explain it?

[Dave]

Your brain probably just gets confused, trying to concentrate on 2 things at once.

[JaKiri]

You could explain it by saying that the brain can only do one 'rotation' type motion in each half of your body at once. Although without any proof or mechanism, it's a fairly truistic explanation.

[Sayonara]

If you start the six in the middle rather than at the top, you won't get the whole conflict thing going on.

[Tesseract]

I can make one six without messing up, but no more after that.

[aommaster]

If you start the six in the middle rather than at the top, you won't get the whole conflict thing going on.

 

Yeah, I think it depends on the way that you write a 6. If you start on the middle, and go clockwise, it won't happen. But, for people like me, I start at the top, and my leg has to change direction to write it.
