HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?


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

1. While sitting at your desk in front of your computer or sewing machine, 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.

Did you try it in the opposite directions with your left foot (i.e. anticlockwise, and number 9) , I did, and that changed directions just the same. It's weird, isn't it?

I thought it would be different since I am left handed, but it changed.

moving your foot is a spatial thing...right brain...and numbers are formed etc. in left brain...we really are prewired, and can't access both at the same time.
I thought if I could get a rhythm going, and ignore the drawing, but you can't do it, if you shut the left side down. Can't be on and off at the same time. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :wink:
