i see her as spinning counter clockwise.

I can't make her spin the other way no matter what tricks I try.

I don't get it.
When I see the lady she is spinning clockwise, but her shadow is spinning counter clockwise.

I can't seem to switch them

I just saw this at newscientist.com.

Here's the explanation:
If you follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, it remains pink. However if you stare at the black cross, the moving dot appears green. If you concentrate on the black cross for a while, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, leaving only a rotating green dot.

There is no green dot, and the pink dots don't disappear. How does this work?

(If the dot is not moving, try hitting the refresh button, or go to this site.)

That's a good one. I had to do PRINT SCREEN to confirm there is no green.
