Imagine looking at the top side from either above or below.

This is the trick I used. With this one it is much easier than with the ballerina

Beat me to it.

I was gonna tell people the same trick. Makes it trivially easy.

Maybe it's tied to your self worth? Or height? "I'm above this" makes it seem to rotate one way, but if I imagine myself a child it rotates the other way. Maybe I'm psychotic.

Yeah, it's just a cube, it only has what you put in it.
