This is impossible- you can't do it. Stupid human trick.

    One of the surgeons I was working with showed me this one, and it's kind of a fun party trick.

    Sit in a chair and lift your right foot. Start rotating your foot in circles, Clockwise (to the right).
    Now, with your right hand, draw the number 6 in the air- your foot will automatically stop going clockwise and start turning counterclockwise! It's the darnedest thing. There is no way for your foot to keep going clockwise.

    Go ahead, try it. You know you want to.

    Draw the 6 backwards...start with the inside loop and end where you normally start.

    Even if you aren't left handed, try making the 6 normally with your left hand. That works too.

    tough, not impossible

    like rubbing your belly with one hand and patting your head with another at the same time ( and not somebody else's another )
