<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It took me about four tries to keep my foot going clockwise. After that, piece of cake.

As for "the old 'rub your stomach and pat your head'", I do perfectly, but they tend to come out on the same beat.

its very interesting, if im rubbing my stomach with the left hand and patting the head with the right i can do it perfectly without concentration. the other way around is more difficult though.
Jack, foot going clockwise??

While doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.















What direction is your foot going now?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Numbers - you have square roots, cube roots, nth roots, et cetera, and it goes up to infinity, but the numbers are there, defined by the system, not growing.

Re: Jokes and Riddles Centre
 
An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again. The boy asked, "What is this, Father?"
The father (never having seen an elevator) responded,
"Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is."
While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the Last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous, voluptuous 24 year old blonde woman stepped out. The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son -
...."Go get your mother."
