It's easy. Just draw the "6" backwards. Instead of starting at the "tip" and drawing it in a counterclockwise motion, start at the inside and draw it in a clockwise motion.

Or be a smart-ass and draw a "9" and flip it over.

The trick is to imagine that your hand and foot are connected by two meshing bevel gears.
The opposite rotation then seems perfectly logical and your muscles will co-operate.
The same mechanical connection trick works with the rubbing your tummy and patting your head- except this time you think of a crank and con rod connecting your two hands.
Easy!

I would strongly urge that no-one tries this while participating in an old-time jam.
It will result in some stopping playing at the end of that verse, others playing the B part another six times and others simply keeling over from the sheer exertion of trying to understand it.
This could result in charges of manslaughter but probably mitigated if a banjo player was amongst those who died.

speaking of which, the Trout Fishing in America (music duo) has a great
kids song about a big rig truck that counts the wheels in roman numbers
spelled out such as: eye, eye eye, eye eye eye , eye vee....etc..to 18

Well, I got it going crudely--kinda like Etch-a-Sketch does circles, ya know...

Interesting feeling- I get the clockwise circle going then start the 6 only to find that my foot has jerked into the other direction. My brain is not all powerful.

Don't matter if it works. No magic in that. Unless being smoked up makes it cool. And that ain't happenin.

Just cabin fever with this rotten snow I think. Never smoked anything (Honest, Officer, not even once) but it hasn't stopped my mind taking odd flights of fancy at regular intervals and drink is a different story.

But try the 6 backwards thing, bet you find it works. Just start with the loop, and move on to the stem so that the track of your finger is a short spiral expanding clockwise, rather than contracting and anti-clockwise.

Draw it backwards? Whadda you bin smokin?

Dude... joint? That's not cool. Get yerself a pipe and help stop global swarming by not killing trees for papers man. Ya gotta zig insteada zag, Dude.

Bong hits for the ecosavers eh? And stop air pollution too... don't exhale until all the smoke is gone.

Yeah... I see it too... we be all smilin an stuff on the cover...

PS... Once again, I have not smoked dope for MANY years and do not condone the use of any mind altering substances except those that are legal but shouldn't be.

It is possible, even easy, you just draw the 6 backwards.


But I suppose that is cheating??

I can't make clockwise circles with my foot to start with. Do I need to see a neurologist?

I think I could do it with a little training--it definitely goes against the grain, though...

I can do it... I can also rub my head & pat my stomach and make circles in the air in reverse directions with both index fingers.

Maybe it was the brain injury at birth.... ;>)

... and make clockwise circles with it as you sit at your computer. While doing this, write the number 6 in the air with your right hand and see if your foot keeps going clockwise. Repeat until you realize it can't.
