Was a good one. I had to practically force myself not to skip across boundaries when following it.

Yes, it’s hard to see them as circles. If I stare at the center I can see them. Like, I’m still focusing on the center of the picture but attending to the periphery - hard to explain.

I had to scribe one with a toothpick - I honestly couldn't do it by just looking at it

Does it seem to 'descend' counterclockwise for everyone? Or do you see it as clockwise?

Counter-clockwise (or anti for our friends across the pond)
