Subject: Can you do this? I bet you can't

Written By: ChuckyG on 08/19/03 at 12:57 a.m.

While sitting at your desk make clockwise circles with your right foot. While doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.


What direction is your foot going now?

I must be doing something wrong, because it's working for me. ???

Do you mean twirl your foot around on your toe, or press your foot against the floor and make clockwise circles that way?  I tried both ways and it's still going clockwise.

This is the same idea as holding your two index fingers horizontally and twirling the right one clockwise and the left one counter-clockwise... I can't do that either :(

hmmm, I can do both.  I can also tap my head with one hand and rub my stomach with the other. ???

It's working for me either way too.  It's weird how I can do this, but I still can't figure out how to snap my fingers!!

Lol I can't do it, and I feel pretty stupid sitting here trying! My foot changes direction unless I do a backwards 6   ;)

I've found that I can do this, but only after considerable concentration. I can do what Chucky said, but I found that my foot wanted to change direction.

That is so messed up! I felt silly after having tried it and failed, especially because I was really concentrating. :P  ;D

I can't do it.  :-[

I can pat my head and rub my tummy but only if my right hand is on my head not the other way round.

i could do it after trying a few times...except my foot wanted to change directions and i had to really struggle to get it in the right direction.

It would be interesting to know if there is a difference between left or right handed people.  Or if people can circle the right foot and draw a 6 with their left hand.

I'm right handed and can only do this on opposite arm/leg.
