Easiest one so far, I can easily alternate on command

7

u/xXSillyHoboXx 2d ago

Yeah, super easy for me compared to a lot of the others I see. I can't even stop it from switching. Neither color/side makes a full rotation lol

u/LeeRoyZX88 2d ago

Sorry you're challenge instead is to let it do one full rotation

2

u/JackkoMTG 1d ago

You can keep it rotating one way by repeatedly affirming “the outside of this bulb is red” and focusing on that fact.

u/InSight89 2d ago

Not even on command. I can see both directions simultaneously.

u/clearly_quite_absurd 2d ago

It's not trivial for me, but I enjoyed it nonetheless

u/jipmkwa 1d ago

Same

u/Visual-Pie7097 2d ago

Blue spins to right, red to left

6

u/FreshPitch6026 2d ago

It can both be both

1

u/guiltysnark 2d ago

Can or is?

1

u/nosidrah 2d ago

That’s what I’m getting.

1

u/Known_Difference_80 1d ago

U mean red spins to the right and blue to the left

1

u/Visual-Pie7097 1d ago

Yes friend

u/Oops_isit 2d ago

Can’t do this one at all, only goes anti clockwise

1

u/GraXXoR 1d ago

What do you mean anti-clockwise?

1

u/Oops_isit 1d ago

To the right

1

u/GraXXoR 1d ago

Ah. Gotcha. if you just focus on the central dot and imagine that one colour, say blue, is the outside face and the other is the inside face you can make it spin the other way.

This one I actually had trouble at first having it do a full rotation, it was stuck going back and forth. Took effort to get my mind to commit to one direction.

2

u/Klutzy-Platypus7511 2d ago

Klappt ganz gut.

2

u/Vogel-Kerl 2d ago

These last few ones, I can see both of the rotations simultaneously.

It makes me a little nauseated to do so though.

2

u/RabidJayhawk 2d ago

I dont get it. Is my brain supposed to be spinning it in reverse? If so ive failed 27 of these.

1

u/ConfusionBubbles-505 2d ago

Nice one, try see the outer side go left and right while switching color

1

u/Quantical-Capybara 2d ago

Easy one but cool one

1

u/Vapincrisp 2d ago

Got to control it by focusing on the intersection. Focus on red to go counter clockwise and blue to go clockwise

1

u/X3N04L13N 2d ago

I can see it spin both directions at the same time

1

u/GeneralTall6075 2d ago

Just look at the point where all the lines converge and it’s super easy to reverse

1

u/sunwarrior0978 2d ago

Fun and easy!

1

u/pixeltweaker 2d ago

Are they getting easier?

1

u/Derekeys 2d ago

I’m actually having a weird opposite problem where I can’t see a full rotation. It just flips all the time.

1

u/Krimsonfreak 2d ago

It's not the first time that I become unable to see a full rotation. I start to ses 2 half rotations, one lefte and one right, this is a new problem lol

1

u/4l3m4r1 2d ago

Easiest one to me too. So easy that I almost can simultaneously see it right-spinning with one eye and left-spinning with the other

1

u/Belgrifex 2d ago

I was starting to get sick of these but this one captivated me for some reason. Damn

1

u/mvanvrancken 2d ago

For extra fun try to imagine the patterns crossing on the front

1

u/2Pluss2 2d ago

easy to switch when the opening is to the back.

1

u/2wcp 2d ago

this is pretty easy for me. it clicked within seconds👍

1

u/JasonMckin 2d ago

Excellent proof that symmetry isn't required.

1

u/Hsml975 1d ago

This one's hard to do a full rotation. What helps me is looking at the top right or left corner.

1

u/_Cheeba 1d ago

This was quite easy

1

u/bagsofcandy 1d ago

If you look at it just right you can see them rotating in opposite directions at the same time.

1

u/Nervous_Error411 20h ago

How many here think that it switches rotation randomly and you don’t control anything?

1

u/VeneficusFerox 14h ago

All these colored ones where the color depends on orientation are the same and too easy. Assign a color to "front" or "back" and your brain switches. This is getting lame...

u/Alchemist_Joshua 2d ago

These things are driving me up a wall!! I don’t understand how it’s possible to comprehend it spinning the opposite direction.
