The worst for me are the 3d spinning dancers where you have to try reeeeeeaaaallly hard to make it spin the other way.

I love this one. The trick to getting it to switch is to key in on the diagonally outstretched leg on one side (left or right) and dart your eyes from the leg on one side to the opposite and back, similar to trying to single out a spinning blade on a ceiling fan. After a few seconds your brain will adjust to the new rotation. Sometimes it is even automatic.

Wow, I never saw how one could perceive the first picture as black and blue until this comparison. My eyes sort of refocused and noticed the lighting.

Now it's just blue and black to me.
