    I didn't see it at first but while reading the disclaimer I noticed out of the corner of my eye she was turning to the left.

    From what I see, the image is not spinning. It's in 2D.

    I can perceive it as her never going past a revolution if I want to.

    She "spins" one way then "spins" the other way, over and over.

    This works with many cuz they are perceiving a 2D image as being in 3D.

    If you look at it as a 2D image you'll see what I'm talking about.

    If you have trouble, stare straight at it, blink 4 times (averting your eyes to your brain) while imagining her go the other way.

    She will constantly change direction.

    Again though, if you think of it as a 2D image, you can do it without blinking.

    You will see the image as her swinging her foot like a pendulum versus going around.

    Well I've been staring at this all morning * and she hasn't changed direction once


    EDIT: So yeah, I know how it's supposed to work, silhouettes are amibiguous in that they can often be back or front views, but I can't seem to make my brain accept that it could be going the other way round.

    Why would you stare at it all morning, you mental?
