I wanted to see if the colors would repeat or were in a pattern, but I got bored after a few dozen changes. Oh well. Very interesting bit of programming there, though. Thanks Cinder.

There are 2 ducks in front of 2 other ducks.
There are 2 ducks behind 2 other ducks.
There are 2 ducks beside 2 other ducks.
How many ducks are there?

Mr. Moody grumbles about bad time-keeping trains from morning till night!.
On one particular morning he was quiet justified.
His train left on time for the one hour journey, to Clarksville, and it arrived 5 minutes late.
However, Mr. Moody 's watch showed it to be 3 minutes early, so he adjusted his watch by putting it forward 3 minutes.
His watch kept time during the day, and on the return journey in the evening the train started on time, according to his watch, and arrived on time, according to the station clock.
If the train traveled 25 percent faster on the return journey than it did on the morning journey, was the station clock fast or slow, and by how much?
Spoiler:
The station clock is 3 minutes fast.
The morning journey took 65 minutes, and the evening journey therefore took 52 minutes, and the train arrived 57 minutes after it should have left, that is, 3 minutes early.

real answer-drive yourself!

Wow that is terrific. Not something that is easily done so the data said. Also read where if you see it go clockwise you are way more right brained then if she spins counter clockwise.

I've also seen her spin in both directions... but counter-clockwise only rarely. *shrug*
This be cool.

Wow this is nice. I can see her spin in both directions. When I close my eyes for moment it is spinning the other way round.

I've also been able to make she spin both ways, but I find it quite hard.

Wow. It took a long time, but I've finally gotten her to spin both ways. I found it helpful to refocus my eyes until she got very blurry, then the switch would happen.

I tried your method at first and it worked. Now I can look at her without unfocusing and she's always spinning clockwise.
