Something to do....

From this link:

While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clock-wise circles. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" with your right hand. Your foot will change direction...and there's nothing you can do about it.

Stop breaking my head!

Now,... if there was only some way to incorporate this into an adventure...

I may have found a way to cheat the system...

Draw the "6" like a spiral, ie reverse the normal method. Start from the inside and spiral out. Not very pretty but it works.

Now it won't help if you rotate your leg counter-clockwise, but then doing that makes the normal six work.

Hypothesis: It has something to do with the fact the right side of your body is controlled by the left half of your brain, can't mix the signals.

It's the same reason you can't rub your stomach and pat your head at the same time. Your brain is actually pretty terrible at doing more than one thing at a time.

It's true. I have to hold my breath every time I post on these boards.

Hmmmmmm........That's interesting. I can do it without any problems. Maybe because I'm a dancer?

I can do it fine as well. Of course, I write right-handed, but play guitar and shoot left-handed. I guess I'm just weird.

I'm left handed so I tried it doing it with the left side instead of the right. Was able to do it fine.

So, figuring I broke the system by doing it that way I did it just as described. Still without any problems, albeit the 6 was kinda ugly because I can't write with my right hand worth a damn.
