Clockwise or counterclockwise?
Please indicate if you're left or right handed with your answer.
Clockwise & right-handed.

For maximum efficiency, it's important to let the Coriolis effect dictate the direction of stir. Therefore, clockwise in the northern hemisphere, counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere.

Heh...such an elementary understanding of physics - you totally negate the polarity of the moons (yes plural). Furthermore, the coefficient of friction is influenced greatly by air density at relative altitude.
Clearly the answer is counter clockwise, if in the northern hemisphere. During the summer solstice. With the right hand, pencil grip on a spoon with a checkered MSH.
