While sitting at your desk, raise your right foot and make clockwise circles with it. Now, with your right hand, trace the number '6' in air with your index finger. Your foot will begin to rotate counter-clockwise and there is nothing you can do about it.

Thats crazy! I think with years of training I can overcome this silly thing. I just have other things to do.:mst:

It is crazy, isn't it! I was like no way, I can do this - alas I could not...
I just hung my left leg and left hand off the couch, and found that a desk is not required to show me I have no control. I thought being left handed was going to help, but alas...

I managed to overcome it, but it took several attempts. You really, really have to focus.

I did it slowly at first. Now I can do it fairly rapidly. Gonna try the left side now!

So does this mean I'm self-disciplined???? BWAAHAHAHAHA!!! I think the procrastination article probably speaks more accurately to that! :lol2:

I thought you meant if I could keep myself from clicking on a thread/post, just to see what nonsense billi has put forth this time (though I already know what it is)

hmmm, gonna try, maybe, later...weather is too nice, gotta do spring cleaning...

Of course, the cheat is to simply draw the 6 backwards (starting at inner circle). Then your foot's already going counterclockwise, and it's easy. :)

Ah, the Kobayashi Maru. You rebel, you.

Didn't work for me, I was able to do both at the same time. However, I remain incapable of rubbing my belly and patting my head at the same time.

Can you do it while saying Nee?
