How Smart Is Your Right Foot?
This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And you
will keep trying it at least 50 more times to see if you
can outsmart your foot. But you can't!!!

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off
the floor and make clockwise circles with it.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air
with your right hand. Your foot will change direction!!!

I told you so... And there is nothing you can do about it.
Make sure you pass this on to your friends...
They won't be able to either...

As I tried it, I imagined a whole office full of people doing it at the same time...and laughed out loud. That got some attention, lol.

If you use opposite hand and foot you won't confuse your brain and it'* easier to do the task, as far as I can tell. Perhaps i'm wrong but this is why I think i'm right. For example, if you use right foot and right hand your left hemisphere, which controls the right side of your body is confused because it'* trying to coordinate opposite movements but if you use opposites each hemisphere is responsible for only one of the movements and it'* less likely that they'll become confused.

I can do it pretty good with my right foot and right hand. I treid with my left foot and left hand and I can't even think about a 6 without my foot messing up

I tried it twice, and pulled a muscle in my neck the second time. I give up.

(PS... I couldn't do it either. I feel.... defeated.)
