Most folks mak a 6 by starting at the top and moving their hand is a counterclockwise direction which confuses the motor senses. Now if you make the 6 by starting with the bottom and going in a clockwise direction it eleminates that problem and still makes the 6. Thus I made a 6 while moving my foot in a clockise direction and it was not all that hard. Remeber you said make a 6 while moving your foot in a clockwise direction. I complied fully and did it.
Now ye of little faith ye may apologise to your wise and crusty ( Sneeky?) Maint officer
