Sun-based orientation, morning scenario: I started walking in the morning facing the Sun (East). After some distance I turned left, then turned right. Which direction was I going then?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: East

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:In the morning the Sun is in the East. The task is to apply a left turn followed by a right turn relative to the current facing.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Morning ⇒ Sun in East ⇒ initial facing East.
  • Left from East ⇒ North.
  • Right from North ⇒ East.

Concept / Approach:Apply relative turns in order. A left followed by a right cancels if no additional rotation is introduced between them.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Face East → turn left → face North.Turn right from North → face East again.

Verification / Alternative check:Net rotation = 0°. Hence final direction equals initial direction (East).

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They assume an absolute right turn (global) instead of a turn relative to the current heading.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing absolute compass turns with relative left/right from current facing.

Final Answer:East
