failing free will in unexpected way-update?

I was looking at those arrows for hours! It's not that I couldn't choose an action or execute it, I observed pheonomenon of will as you describe it immediatelly after reading that there are two kinds of arrows there. I thought "Oh, I like this stuff...left...right...left...right..." and then-without reading what I supposed to do next- I thought "Hey, let's learn to see both of them at the same time! Maybe it's possible!". Guess what... I suceeded! So I couldn't pass the test. No matter how I tried-I didn't had a free will... Did I LEARNED to be without free will or what? I got back to this expermient after a while... with the same result. Frustrating. Am I the only man on Earth without free willl? Or did somebody experienced the same problem? Or maybe the test need some changes, like taking those arrows out of the first page...
