Explanation
The majority of people cannot solve this, because our brain immediately comes to the conclusion that we must “move” the whole glass from one position to another. The part of the brain that controls this is the occipital lobe which is involved with visual recognition of shapes and colours.

Additionally after reading the simple answer, you are most likely to smile. Smiling also triggers activity in your brain; this is located in your left frontal cortex which is the area that registers happiness. There is a serious mind – body connection in which smiling causes you to be happy, this is done by the simple act of smiling sending a message to your brain to be happy. Conclusively when you’re happy, your body pumps out all kinds of “feel-good” chemicals called endorphins.

Explanation
This spinning model of a girl is a well-known optical illusion. It reveals how our brains process visual information. This is processed in the occipital lobe located at the back of the brain, which is responsible for visual reception and recognition of shapes and colours. The image is not objectively “spinning” in a certain direction but is a two-dimensional image which is simply shifting back and forth. Our brain did not evolve to interpret two-dimensional representations of the world thus we see this spinning model as a three-dimensional model. This false visual construction can be assumed to be spinning clockwise and counter-clockwise. If you focus you can "change" the direction.
