Subject: Can you do this? I bet you can't
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?
Subject: Re: Can you do this? I bet you can't
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.
Subject: Re: Can you do this? I bet you can't
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 :(
Subject: Re: Can you do this? I bet you can't
hmmm, I can do both. I can also tap my head with one hand and rub my stomach with the other. ???

I can do all of those too. :D
Subject: Re: Can you do this? I bet you can't
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!!
Subject: Re: Can you do this? I bet you can't
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.
Subject: Re: Can you do this? I bet you can't
That is so messed up! I felt silly after having tried it and failed, especially because I was really concentrating. :P ;D
Subject: Re: Can you do this? I bet you can't
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.
Subject: Re: Can you do this? I bet you can't
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.

Wow I can't do it. Why is this difficult?
Subject: Re: Can you do this? I bet you can't
Count me as one of the can'ts :(
Subject: Re: Can you do this? I bet you can't
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.
Subject: Re: Can you do this? I bet you can't
god I must be bored to try this again....you're right karen, i'm left handed and i can do it with my left leg and right arm
Subject: Re: Can you do this? I bet you can't
No can do ???
Subject: Re: Can you do this? I bet you can't
there goes that theory
Subject: Re: Can you do this? I bet you can't
I can't do it either :( !! Got my mom desperetly trying to fight the reflex action now, its quite amusing!
