Can You Outsmart Your Right Foot?
« on: July 05, 2005, 08:50:04 am »
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. Sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor
and make clockwise circles with your foot.


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

Can you beat it?

I managed to do it, but I had to move both my hand and foot really slowly.

Hoi Dracho,

Were you listening to CBC radio over the week-end?

By the way my foot changed direction as well, I only tried it the once as the showed aired.

I am actually interested in finding another CBC radio fan, we are few and far between.

Take care

I picked it up while I was up in Montanna over the weekend.  Normally, we do not get CBC down here in Oklahoma.. that is unless a tornado drops a Canadian radio it picked up somewhere.. ;D

Well, there is a way to beat it, but it isn't the way most people write "6":

start the writing motion for the numeral "6" from the inside curve, going out.  I naturally did that way first and wondered what the heck you were talking about.  Then I realized that it felt all too natural and further realized that I started inside out.  When I tried to start at the top of the curvy numeral, yeah, my leg tried to go the other way.

Fascinating.
