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
