    Default Try this out!

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

    True, but if you draw the 6 back to front, ie don't start at the top, you can keep doing the foot circles.

    Bob, thats amazing! How did you figure that out?

    (I have not tried it yet coz I believe you )

    Don't try this out

    While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor. Whack it with your telephone handset 5 times. It will be painful like hell and it is nothing you can do about it.

    Nope, didn't change direction. But then I do have independent coordination

    An old mate used to do that in the bath tub.
    And light them up with a cigarette lighter.
    Burnt all the hairs off his bum one time.
    Doesn't do it anymore

    To PaulS and grasshopper, you are meant to draw “6” with your right hand not “9”.

    Now try again.

    I could get my foot not to change, but only with a lot of concentration.

    (But of course it is easy if you draw the six the cheating way. i.e. starting in the middle).

    Foot in circles whilst drawing 'VI' in the air, simple, however, 'IX' is a bit more difficult.........

    I must be normal because my foot changed direction as described. Mind you, people who know me would immediately claim that this is sufficient reason to class your test as disproved

    I used to be normal but with therapy I was able to cure the illness
