THIS WILL BE PERPUTAL IF YOU TRY TO BEAT IT

Post by winkle »

While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and
make clockwise circles.
Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your
right hand.

Your foot will change direction.

And there's nothing you can do about it!

that's creepy...

but cool...

the signals your sending to your foot just "switch" counter-clockwise when you get to the circle part of the six...

Interesting...

I just discovered that it is equally impossible to lift and move one's left foot counter clockwise while trying to draw a backwards 6 in the air with one's left hand!

That's easy!!
We have the metric system, so we first have to divide our foot by 3.280833
