Well this is unusual....

Found online...

"While sitting on a chair, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Then, while doing that, draw the number six with your right hand. The direction of your foot will change."

And it blooming does. Weird.

Who found this out in the first place?

Either a crazy loner, or an overpaid government scientist!

Strangely, the left foot doesn't change direction.

I must go to bed

very odd ... is it the same for left handers?

Yes, with either foot.

I believe it also affects most people if you simply make circles with your foot (either direction), and run your index finger side to side on the table. Your foot will start going side to side too.

Came across this a few years ago. It's very odd.

p.s. When I say I came across it, I mean somebody told me about it not that I was just sat there making random circles with my foot and drawing numbers in the air . . . that would be even more weird

That's fascinating and annoying.

I refuse to submit to such weirdness. I will overcome.

I'm ambidextrous ???????!!!!!!!!!

It depends how you draw a 6.
It's really hard to put into words but if you draw the circle bit clockwise first then the 'tail' it doesn't work

I realise most normal people don't draw a 6 like that but I'm going to start now!

Hahaha, this whole thread is super funny.

I'd give my left arm to be ambidextrous.
