Revolvers, Autoloaders and the BRAIN....

i think anyone, who sees it going counterclockwise
should turn their guns in, for their brain has a certain
analytical problem :)

i prefer full auto. Belt fed. :)))
 
After a while I can make it go either way, with some effort.

DA revolver.

It's just a 2d image that morphs to the left and right repeatedly. Without depth or reference there is no one, correct way.
 
By squinting my eyes slightly, she changes direction, or by tilting my head to look through either the lower part of the eye or upper part of the eye, she changes direction.

I must be doing that in gun stores, one time, I'm madly in love with revolvers, the next thing you know, its all about 1911s.

Truth be told, I like any quality handgun,
 
CW and all you people who claim to see it CCW are lying or live in the southern hemisphere where I understand clocks go the other way (or is that drains?).

No matter, she is going clockwise. ;)

Clockwise first, then when I looked down at the her shadow and looked up again, it was going CCW. Very cool!

[EDIT] Ok, I downloaded it and played some more. I think she is definitively going CW. I can make her spin either way, but if you get her going counterclockwise, when her leg is pointing away from you, its shadow is closer to you, so I think that's wrong - am I right?

[EDIT2] Well, I suppose she could be "backlit" instead of overhead lighting....

Oh, and I LIKE SA anything for pleasure shooting, but CARRY DA.
 
Counter of course. Except now she's clockwise. weird

Wheelguns of course.

I suspect this test would be more applicable to the ancient Colt vs. S&W debate.
 
I see her going either direction. I prefer autos but also own revolvers and mainly I prefer SA autos but I own a lot of DA autos too. I guess I'm just a well-rounded individual.:D
 
depends on when i look at it. sometimes it's clockwise, sometimes counter.

I also have no preference really, yet!
 
I can make her go either way, but the shadow only matches up clockwise.

If you can make it go Counter-Clockwise, don't you think that the shadow of her "left" leg as it rotates behind her is wrong? It's clearly closer to the viewer, while the leg is actually pointing away.

Hell, yes. I agree. There aren't two (or three, or four) ways about it. The image is clearly rotating clockwise. I cannot comprehend how anybody could say that it's CCW or that it's "one way, then another".

It's like presenting a picture of a square and then asking, "Ok, how many see a square, and how many see a circle?".

But, I'm not taking issue with anybody's answers, just venting my frustration at the feeling that there's something here I may not be getting. No matter how obvious it seems, when many people say that they see the image doing something that (in my mind) it is clearly not doing, it rather frightens me and sows a little doubt in my mind about my own perceptions. Which is probably exactly what the exercise is designed to do.

So, my answers are:

Clockwise
Revolvers
Double action

And oh, yes - you said that those who see the woman rotating counter-clockwise are supposed to be the analytical ones? That is a deadly insult! :) I consider myself to be very methodical and rational. More mind games, I guess.
