clockwise or counterclockwise?

Which way is she spinning?

OK,
so this is not strictly tech-related, but it is a cool way to count
down the remaining minutes to the weekend. Look at the dancer and
decide which way she's spinning.

Got it?

If you think she's going clockwise, you're apparently right-brain
dominant (imaginative, philosophical, touchy-feely, impetuous); if you
see her going counter-clockwise, you're left-brain dominant (logical,
practical, detail-oriented, safe).

If, like us, you are able to alternate views to see her going in both directions, then you're just a plain old genius.
