This is going to drive you crazy.

While sitting, 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!

The more I practiced, the worse it got! On my first "6", I got about 2/3 of the way through, then my foot started makin' squares, then all fouled up.

Ya, that's tough to do correctly. But a work-around would be to, while moving your foot, type the number 6 on your keyboard. [Smile]

Unless you do it Santo's way.

Perhaps a better topic title for this thread might be "people with too much time on their hands...and their feet"

Diane, we need pictures. Are you sure that you did it with your right hand? I tried and tried. I got my foot going real good and then tried concentrating on the hand/6. Thought for sure I could do it. Not!!

One of my daughter's sent that to me. They are both kinda goofy.

How to do it:
1. Put Brain in gear first.
2. Practise trying.
3. Put brain back in gear again.
4. Don't start the feet circling first, and then try and draw the 6, but start doing both at the same time instead.
5. Congratulate yourself after a half good attempt and go and terrorise someone else with this puzzle!
best wishes

Being left handed I draw my 6 with the left hand so I had no problem. A little practice with my right and I got it too.

To all those who said "No problem": Do it with a brush in hand and send the results to Laura for judging.
