Stare only at the red dot until the time runs down, then still only looking at the red dot you will notice that the presidents have changed places. But have they?

Spinning Spokes Optical Illusion

Picture
We have made a spinning spokes optical illusion for you. The illusion asks which way are the brown spokes in the middle moving? If you let your eye follow a green spoke around with a brown spoke underneath they both go the same way. Now if you follow an orange spoke with a brown spoke on top, they both go the opposite way.
