How smart is your right foot?

[somethingshiny]

This is hysterical. You have to try this. It is absolutely true. I guess there are some things that the brain cannot handle.


HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?

You have to try this please, it takes 2 seconds. I could not believe this!!!

It is from an orthopaedic surgeon............ This will
boggle your mind and you will keep you trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can''t. It''s pre-programmed in your brain!

1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY......) and while sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

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


I told you so!!! And there''s nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you''ve not already done so.

 

[geckodani]

Hee hee. I love that. Hilarious.

And yes, I tried it again, even thought I already knew it wouldn''t work.

 

[Bia]

Its true!

I asked a co-worker of mine to do it. Didn''t work, BUT she''s left-handed. When she did it with her left foot, it worked! hehehe...

Interesting. I can do it with my left. Odd.

 

[DiamanteBlu]

ROTFL!

No problem doing it with opposite hands and feet but defaulted to counterclockwise on matching hands and feet. Interesting how the hand direction seems to override!

 

[DiamanteBlu]

I have to add that we all clearly have too much time on our hands! LOL!

Clearly. ::sigh:: I love my job

 

[joflier]

Come on you darn foot!!!! What''s wrong with you?

 

[Kaleigh]

Too funny!! Yes it''s true!!!

 

[zoebartlett]

That''s so funny -- it worked!!! Now I can''t stop doing it. My husband''s playing a game and he keeps looking at me while I''m laughing and asking what I''m doing. It''s a funny sight!

 

[MichelleCarmen]

Ah, I was able to keep my foot going clockwise!!! It took a few tries, but if I kept my foot going very slowly and concentrated, it didn't change direction.

ETA - the more times I try the easier it gets. Seriously, try till you can control the movement.

 

[777_LDY]

That is so neat! I am going to teach it to my boys when they are bored over vacation! "First one who gets it wins!!" That should keep them busy!!

 

[snlee]

How interesting! I tried about three times and it happened every time.

 

[Kelli]

That is hilarious and at the same time so frusatrating LOL!! I''m left handed but can''t do it on either side!

 

[MichelleCarmen]

hmmm. . .tested my Dh and he did it on the second try.

 

[arjunajane]

Thats hilarious. I straight away challenged Fi to do it, neither of us could.
Like 777 said, I''ve got to remember this kinda thing for when I have kids - that''ll keep em busy !

 

[luvthemstrawberries]

Hahahaha this is so funny. Tried it 3 or 4 times!!

 

[somethingshiny]

okay, I may be a complete twit, but I can do it now! I''ve been trying it off and on most of the day, every time I sit actually. And, now I can control the movement.

btw- try to go counter-clockwise and try drawing a 9---I haven''t mastered that one yet!

Okay, I got the the counter-clockwise & 9 one down too.

My kids tried doing it and got a huge kick out of it.

 

[radiantquest]

really funny. lol

Absolutely funny.Unbelievable
I shall give this test to all our guests coming over this Holiday time.See how they score.

 

[AdiS]

haha, managed to do it on the second try! My colleague still can''t and she keeps making circles with her foot! lol

 

[Irishgrrrl]

Ya know, I''ve seen this before, and no matter how many times I try, it doesn''t work for me at all! I must be some kind of freak! LOL! I keep drawing the number 6 in the air, and my foot keeps going in clockwise circles, no matter which hand/foot combination I use!

 

[dendon]

I have to stop trying this, won''t work!!!!

That''s crazy.

 

[musey]

So silly!

 

[ChargerGrrl]

i had to try this, and couldn''t stop laughing at myself in my office
my colleagues think i''m nuts

 

[AmberGretchen]

I just tried that and I think it worked, but one of the cats attacked my wiggling toes, so I can''t be sure

 

[curiopotter]

Am I weird because I can do it?? I tried it with both my left foot/hand and right foot/hand!

 

[partgypsy]

It didn''t work for my right foot, but the trick did for my left (I''m a lefty!) Very cool.

 

[partgypsy]

OK this is weird I tried what people suggested and practiced doing it. If I write (suckily) a 6 with my right hand, my right foot changes directions, can''t help it. But I can now write a 6 with my left hand and keep my left foot going in a clockwise direction. Have no idea what that means.
