Morning scenario: Rita begins walking toward the Sun (East), then turns left, then left again, and after walking a while, turns right. Which direction is she facing now?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: North

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:In the morning the Sun is in the East, so “toward the Sun” implies an initial Eastward facing. The rest is a sequence of relative turns.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Initial facing: East (morning toward the Sun).
  • Then: left → North.
  • Then: left → West.
  • Then: right → North.

Concept / Approach:Apply left/right relative rotations: East → North → West → North.

Step-by-Step Solution:Start East.Left to North.Left to West.Right to North.

Verification / Alternative check:Two lefts equal a 180° turn from East to West; one right from West returns to North.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:East/West/South do not match the final orientation after the described turns.

Common Pitfalls:Assuming “toward the Sun” is West; that is true in the evening, not morning.

Final Answer:North
