Look closely. Is she spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise?

Solve 3*5=?

Look closely. Is she spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise?




Pragmatic Thinking and Learning: Refactor Your Wetware (Pragmatic Programmers)Did she switch direction? The idea here is that our brain switches between left and right. If she is spinning clockwise, then we are using the right side of our brain which is responsible for feelings, beliefs, imagination. If she is spinning counter-clockwise, then we are using the left side of our brain which is responsible for logic, math, and science.
