This is easy. Look, and see which way it appears to you. For me, it's usualy counter-clockwise at first.

But then focus on the leg sticking out. If you see her going counterclockwise, then her sticking-outleg is her left leg.

If you see her going clockwise, it's her right leg.

Wierd. The only way I could see her go counter clockwise was by hiding the left and middle one, watching the right, then adding the middle one back in. Even then, if i hid the right one, it was a struggle to keep seeing her spin counter clockwise. Watching her go counter clockwise just felt unnatural.
 
usually clockwise, but on a rare occasion I'll see it going counterclockwise

EDIT: Wow, after trying on a number of occasions to be able to actually see it clockwise for more than a second, I saw it clockwise, and now can't get it to change back
 
Woot I beat it!

I figured out how to get her to go clockwise, and then keep going clockwise when I look directly at her. I posted earlier about my experience with her just going back and forth side to side or clockwise, but only when not looking directly at her.

Now if I focus directly at the feet, not doing the blank stare at the floor, she'll start going clockwise, even when I look up at her and she'll keep going that way, also with no blurring or leg trailing. First time when I click on the page it is always CCW though.

Sweet.


*edit* Weird.. now she's CW when I first open the page, and I have to focus to get her back CCW.
