Try this. Trust me, it won't hurt.
1) While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot of the floor, and rotate it in clockwise circles.
There! That wasn't too bad was it?
2) Now, while still rotating clockwise, lift your right hand, and draw a "6" in the air.
Nothing wrong so far? goood.
3) Look at your foot.
Why is it going anticlockwise?
Because as I said - your brain doesn't work right...and there is nothing you can do to stop it happening...

I could resist the change in direction for a few seconds. As it turns out I could also easily make my coworkers think there is something wrong with me.
Another one you can try is (I learnt this one in primary school):
1. With an open palm rub your stomach in a circular motion.
2. Pat the top of your head with the other hand.
One of your hands will follow the other and you will wind up patting your stomach or rubbing your head. Most people can get that one right with some practice though; especially if you are partially or fully ambidextrous.

Don't understand. Works fine. Takes some weird focus but nothing that'll get me in the circus.

It only goes about thirty degrees and stops.

You need to break your foot.. preferably at the ankle... then try again.

I once broke my leg... and got me a second knee on that leg. 
(at least until they fixed it in the hospital)

Its possible to get it to rotate further, I managed to rotate mine about 90 degrees once. Takes some assistance, though. On the plus side, it gives the airport x-ray scanner people something interesting to look at 
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

AAAARgh! you've got me and my wife in an endless loop of:
1 rotate foot
2 draw 6
3 AAAAAARGH
4 goto 1

Please re-write without the use of GOTO. There's real programmers reading this.

Sure, we, real programmers never use that...
I've put goto here as a reference to this recent post[^]

Exactly!
That goto can easily be replaced by 60 lines of code, which will bring the added bonus of having time to nip off for a coffee/bacon sarnie/beer at the end of each iteration.

Someone had to do it, right?
var rightFoot = new Foot();
var rightHand = new Hand();
bool success = false;
while (!success) {
rightFoot.Rotate(eMode.Clockwise);
rightHand.DrawFigure(6);
Thread.Sleep(5000);
if(rightFoot.IsRotating(eMode.Clockwise) && rightHand.IsDrawing(6)){
success = true;
}
}

Love it! Bravo

At first I thought you had a bug, because as soon as you left the Rotate function, the foot would stop rotating and your loop would never be true. Then I realized that this function could just be setting a state field, so it will continue rotating. So, it should be true in the first iteration of the loop.
Oh, that's it! A design flaw! The brain controls both.
You forgot your brain! when you designed it,

Maybe I'm in a brain class? For sake of brevity, I didn't go through namespaces and class declarations. Though I should have put at the end:
rightHand.Rest();
rightFoot.Rest();
That was wearing me out all weekend!
