This is an interesting physiogical neurolgoy anomaly.

Here are the steps:

In a sitting position, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.
While making circles, draw the number 6 in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change directions and there is nothing you can do about it.

This task isn't impossible, just a pain to try to control =P

I remember this! A co-worker had everyone at work doing this one night, and I got made fun of for being the only freak whose foot didn't change direction. (she even made a group of people who had come in just to fill out applications try it) So, it's not impossible, and if you do it, you become the subject of ridicule :D

Just tried it again. I'm still a freak. :-[

Do you mean the foot going anticlockwise, then draw the 6? It's pretty easy with clockwise, anticlockwise is a pain. I can do it about 3/4 times.

I believe I mastered this now on maybe about my second or third try... it caught me off guard the first time hehe... that was weird!  Try looking at your foot when doing it hehe  ;)

Funny I received the exact same thing by email this morning, but it was in french.

I knew there was a catch to it, so I forced myself to rotate clockwise while drawing the "6". My foot just stopped turning.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Especially the skill gain.
