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..


Can you stop your foot automatically changing direction?

Nope. What have I got? Is it catching? Life-threatening? Is there a practical application for this particular skill? Is intelligence the job of my right foot? I thought it was to be a match for the left one & keep my ankle off the ground. When did it change? How much does the job pay? Are there benefits? Where do I apply?????                     Tw

Mine's so smart it wouldn't let me try that dumb idea at all!

I'm sure I could do it if my life depended on it-- which it doesn't.

Interesting. When you use the hand on the opposite side to the leg, there's no difficulty.

But if you make clockwise circles with your left hand at the same time, then your right hand can draw the 6s

Some people write a 6 by beginning in the middle, round clockwise and then up the tail. That's what I found myself doing in your test the first time.
It's pretty easy to teach your hands and feet, or opposite hands, to do different things simultaneously, or how would anyone learn to play musical instruments.

What puzzles me is how you find out these things, and what does it achieve/prove or not.

If I asked anyone in the pub to try this, they would just tell me to piss off.

Eric maybe they are telling you the beer tastes funny!

Anyway my right foot does not answer trivia - it is beneath it.

You must be drinking with the wrong people, or in the wrong pub, eric.

" Can you stop your foot automatically changing direction?"

My foot didn't change directions at all... must have been all those years as a dancer....

I haven't got the hang of clockwise yet.. being very strongly left handed as I am....
