A man is standing and facing North-East, but then he turns 45 degrees clockwise. Can you figure out which direction he is facing afterward? It may sound simple, but direction puzzles can easily catch you if you rush. The key is to carefully track his starting position and the exact amount of his turn. 🧭
First, remember the basic compass: North is up, East is right, South is down, and West is left. North-East lies halfway between North and East, meaning it represents a 45-degree angle clockwise from North. That gives us a clear starting point for the puzzle.
Now follow the turn. The man begins at 45 degrees from North and rotates another 45 degrees clockwise. Adding the two angles gives us 90 degrees from North. A 90-degree clockwise position from North points directly toward the right side of the compass. 👀
So, which direction is that? If you chose East, you got it! 🎯 The correct answer is A. East. The trick is simply recognizing that North-East starts at 45 degrees and another 45-degree clockwise turn brings him exactly to East.
